Be wary of this machine. I have one and it does not have a nice straight stitch, and getting any stitch to look good requires lots of fiddling with tension and foot pressure. The needle threader is a real pain. They were discontnued after 2-3 years because Bernina realized that the first 700 series machines had quality problems. I feel cheated that I paid $3500 for this thing. To be honest, lots of people love their 700s, but a few have real problems that cannot be fixed. Just be careful.
QUOTE=Skyangel;7309317]There is a BERNINA model that is just being discontinued, the 710. 10" throat, knee lift, auto cutter, auto threaders, auto pressers foot lift, awesome LED lighting. I think I have seen them around $2800. They might have a good deal at the state fair through tomorrow. I'm in Oregon too, in Keizer.[/QUOTE
