I have the 770 Tula machine. I love it and haven’t had any problems so far. One thing with it, I have to hold the threads when I start sewing otherwise it goes clunkity-clunk and makes a nest. My other Bernina was like that too.

When referring to Berninas - it is helpful to mention approximatlely what year it was made.
Some Bernina model history:
https://sewingiscool.com/bernina-models-history/
For reasons unknown to me, Bernina got the idea to number some of their new, super-duper, fancy/finicky machines with the same model numbers that were used 30-60 years ago. Many of those older machines are still working well.
So - when someone says I loooooove my Bernina 830 - which one? The basically mechanical one - from what I understand is relatively fuss-free
or the "new" computerized Bernina 830 - from what I understand has been a "problem child" -

Thank you, I’m going for it. About holding the threads, I’ve seen a few comments about that. It’s a habit for me and what was taught long ago. I think I’d have a hard time not doing it at this point.

Holding the threads for the first 2 stitches is a habit many of us learned in Jr. High Home Ec. class. I still do it. If the thread isn't pinched under the presser foot, it's free to tangle any way it wants. Holding the tails prevents the take-up lever from jerking it as the first stitch is formed. It's a good habit for any sewing machine.
