I inherited a 7570, but I did not love it as I thought I would. I prefer my even older Bernina, although I do most of my sewing on a TOL Babylock now. The few things that I did not like about it - had trouble with the bobbin winder, just couldn't quite get it figured out but that is likely operator error. But mostly, it seems as if the bobbins just didn't hold much thread - always changing them out. As a new quilter, I became drawn to a machine with a larger harp space very quickly. I also had a lot of trouble with the leading edge of the fabric getting chewed up in the feed dogs. I know how to prevent it, but had never had the issue with my Bernina of a similar vintage.
