My new Bernina 590 does pretty good embroidery, but I haven't really done much yet. I used to do a lot of embroidery using my old Viking D1. I did notice that I could do a lot more on the actual machine then I was able to do on the D1 but there is about a 20-year difference in them. The screen is not huge, but you can zoom in on the stitching to see it. I used to have a separate embroidery program to do this on my D1, but a lot is now in the machine to do modifications. I am disappointed though because my dealer did not know how the embroidery on the Bernina's really worked as she was just starting to carry the Bernina's. I was used to my Viking dealer which was a family run business and they always sent someone to the conventions to learn all about the new bells and whistles with new models and they had years of experience with the Viking brand.
