The shop is doing everything online, I was reading through the manual last evening and saw a few differences from the 570 already, I think the 570 had two "hover" levels while the 590 has more. I am planning on doing the embroidery one. Bernina does have a number of videos also I am planning on watching. Ugly cold weather the next few days, so I can stay inside and play with the new machine instead of tending to the yard which needs help, didn't finish all the raking last year and the snowplow guy had some new drivers who plowed up a lot of my gravel driveway and I now have gravel piles that need to go back into the driveway. Owning a house has it's trials, but what apartment would hold all my machines and stash? Thanks again everyone for your input, I sure was having problems making deciding on this one..
