LOL Candace, of course nobody here will tell me I shouldn't buy a machine just because I like it!
I don't think I would be able to keep the 707 AND the 831. For now my excuse to have a Bernina is because it's the only one who have the two holes that allow me to put the binder foot (a good Susei brand; works really great!) I bind a lot when I'm sewing children clothing; still experimenting for quilt.
I think the 707 and the 831 have the same number of stitches; but I prefer the look of the 831. I was thinking to try the two for a few months, than keep the one I prefer and sell the other one (preferably to a friend... so I will see it from time to time)
