Wonderful choice. Can't go wrong with Bernini. If they offer classes on using the machine, take the class. I'm on my 4th Bernina and love it. Happy Sewing!

I'm reading this thread with great interest as I'm deciding between the Bernina 570 QE and Janome 6700 this week. Now that you've had your 570QE for a little while, wondering if you have been happy with your decision. I'm on the fence between the Bernina and the Janome, so would really appreciate hearing about your experience and recommendations. Thanks!
