Hi Guys,

Any news on the new Bernina's from your side of the pond yet?

I have seen pics on the Yahoo group. It is a combo of the 4 and 600 series. Only one has embroidery, but it includes some of the features of the 830, like virtual positioning of the design.

Hi Nursie,

Which yahoo group?

What I've heard so far: only the 580, which has 9mm stitch width, will have embroidery capabilities, with a module. The 530 and 550QE, will have 5.5mm stitch width. The machines look very similar to the 3 series, except that the 5 series is full-sized and the 3 series are 3/4 sized. The 430, 440, and 640 are to be discontinued.

They look nice. I'd have thought they'd make a larger harp on these though...

One of our employees who has an 830 and a 440 and absolutely loves them both, sewed on the 550 at Bernina University. She told me " I think I just may be trading in my 440!" She was very impressed with the machine!
