[QUOTE=Maureen NJ;7854273]Did you plan to do embroidery? Yes Does your dealer have a certified Bernina technician who can do the routine maintenance, repairs, and computer updates? Yes, very good one. I have a Bernina 830 and I did have problems with tension and thread breakage, which I have previously written about here. Finally, it was all fixed and I LOVE IT. I particularly love the hover mode, start and stop button, the big bobbin, large harp for FMQ, and the knee lift. I also love how easy it is to get the presser foot cover off (no screws) to clean the whole area, which is something I do with every bobbin change and heartily recommend. I have learned to play with the tension- no longer afraid of doing that. I do not use the embroidery module as much as I thought I would. Only so much time. As far as the price, it sounds good to me although I would ask for a warranty and lessons, as others have suggested. There is a 1 year parts & labor warranty and 2 sewing lessons plus 2 embroidery lessons. There are also loads and loads of YouTube videos. Does it come with a lot of presser feet? I don't know. Will have to find out. But I have an old 180 with 9 mm wide stitches and I'm told those pressure feet will fit the 830. And I have 18 feet! /QUOTE]
It comes with everything it originally had. Embroidery modual with small, medium and large hoop, stitch regulator etc.
