I bought mine back in May when they first came out. I love it!! It is easily transportable around my house and to classes. I find I am using it almost exclusively for piecing. I have the 1/4 inch foot with guide. I love the built-in walking foot. Machine handles going through 4 layers of fabric without any problems. It goes through 5-6 layers if going slowly. I use my Bernina 830 for quilting.
