I started with a Bernina 750 but at the time did not get the embroidery attachment. I used lots of the features. Last year I decided I wanted to embroider so I was able to trade it in and get the 880 with the embroidery attachment. I may not use every feature now, but my curiosity and knowledge keep me exploring. As I grow in skill I don't have to worry that what I want to do is unavailable. I don't regret it for a second.
