That sounds really great, I do hope you like it, I only had one that I didn't like and that was a White, and I always wanted a White, finally got one, the dealer came to my home and brought a second new one, thinking I had a lemon, he couldn't get the second new one to work properly, there was a problem with the bobbins! I traded it for the Janome and I still have it. I do love my Bernina, I never gave Elna a thought, but I have Ellen Burns books on quilting and I also thought the Viking looked interesting. I think my next one maybe the BabyLock Long Arm quilter, not sure if I can find a space to put it! Came really close a few times to taking one home. So far quilting on my Bernina takes time, but works well for me and I made three queen and one king size. Enjoy your machine and happy quilting to you. We live on top of the mountain and we still have 16" of snow in the back yard. Loving the seasons.
