I've had mine for two years and love this machine, it is absolutely amazing with its endless features!

I think I'm a Bernina fan on the opposite end - maybe a non bernina fan. I've had several Bernies. Got some of the worst results fm stippling, from a 930, and an 1130. Had the 180 that was pretty much a nightmare. Fiddled until I was crosseyed - never got a decent stitch. I really love Babylocks for embroidery and Juki's to sew on. I have the ten needle Babylock and I love it. The f-600 Juki is a dream. I prefer two seperate machines. If I am embroidering I can't sew, so two machines are best in my book. Besides I'm really done with sitting watching the machine embroider. I've only got a certain amount of time and I need to multi task.
But to each his own.
