Judge for yourself....you could just as easily have not seen that review and read another one that was positive. I own a 7 series Bernina, and have a friend who is a prolific quilter of a high standard who does so on her Bernina 8 series machine. Every machine is going to be unsuitable for someone, and every machine is going to be perfect for someone else. Wait and see, you may be delighted with your purchase after all. If the worse comes to the worse I guess you could always sell it or trade it so don't stress...clear your head and give the 830 a chance; you may very well end up all smiles! Just give the machine (and you) a fair chance.
