My MIL recently gave me her Bernina 820 "sewing computer". She had problems with it and moved on to Janome. I too sew on a Janome 8900 which I love. One of the reasons I love it, is that it is relatively simple to use.
I decided to set up the Bernina and give it a spin so to speak. Wow! there is a big learning curve as it really is a computer. It took me a hour to figure out how to thread it Haha!
I realized that I like simple. Well, I knew I liked simple as I am not a gadget person either. If you go with the computerized machine, you have to put in the time to learn it. That may be fine with you, but for me right now, I just want to sew. Maybe down the road when I have more time on my hands I'll try again. I personally would not buy a more computerized machine, but that is just my preference.
