I had a quilter's edition Baby Lock and couldn't wait to get rid of it. I said I'd never have another Baby Lock. Well I've wanted to eat those words I don't know at the times. I had to have a Bernina. I had the 830 record but I wanted the new 830. Well I finally convinced hubby I needed it and couldn't live without it. Oh how I wish I could live that day over. Never would I buy Bernina. I do like the larger bobbin but it's so complicated to use..not user friendly at all. I don't think. If I had another chance at a machine it would be the Unity or one of the other high end Baby Locks. They are really nice machines and so user friendly. Of course what I like might not be for you. That's just my personal intake. I do really like the Bernina 440. I had looked at them but then they were discontinued. I did have a chance to buy one but didn't. My bad!!! Other than that it would be Baby Lock.
