I have a Tula Pink 770 and I love it! It's the best machine that I have ever owned! Bernina's are a completely different animal, with that being said I would suggest that your wife take as many lessons from the dealer as possible. When doing free motion quilting, you must have the machine sunk into the table. Silicon sheets that are tapped on to the bed makes the project slide easier. I use rubber tips on my fingers, like the kind used to flip thru paper quickly. I do not use my BSR because I free motion quilt the old fashion way.
Your wife really needs to look on YouTube for videos on free motion quilting, or even the Bernina site itself. The one absolute with sewing of any type, the only way that you're going to improve your skill is practice practice practice.
