    Congratulations, I have the Bernina 830. I still haven't gone in for my lessons on the embroidery module. :D

    Trade ins are a dealer incentive, not related to the manufacturer. If your dealer won't take a trade in, try finding a new dealer.

    I have the Bernina 435, which is the same as the 440QE except it's 9mm for the decorative stitches instead of 5mm. It is a pleasure to use and enjoy every minute of sewing on it. Congratulations on your 830. I've seen them when I took my lessons (which I took twice!).

    Happy Birthday! I am a bit jealous! I would love those extra inches in the throat, but I will just have to keep cramming my quilts into the smaller space on my 640. Congrats!

    That's weird. My old dealer and my new shop both take tradeins on Berninas. I agree that finding a different dealer would be the key.

    My dealer took my Bernina 125 in trade for a 380 just last month. I then helped her sell the trade in by sending a friend that had been in search of a used Bernina. It worked out for all of us. I agree that another dealer might work with you.

    Congrats! I am green as well. If I had a spare $10,000 I would buy one too. I am a diehard Bernina fan and currently have an Aurora QE. Have fun!
