DH just bought me a Bernina 880 with a huge Koala cabinet as a reward for losing 40 lbs. I am in definitely totally absolutely over the top in love with both the Bernina 880 and DH! We also have a dealer in our area that provides great service. I plan on taking my Machine in every year for a spa treatment at my age 65 I plan for this machine to last me the rest of my life. We also got the embroidery module. The quilt shop offers a discount on fabric purchases when you do this. Now I'm really motivated to lose another 49 lbs. to say thank you for such a wonderful gift. A win win situation. This is my 3rd Bernina. We traded my 640 for the 880 and I have a Numbered White Pearl I keep as a back up machine.
