LOL....buying a Bernina is like buying a car as they cost just as much!.....I have the 6600 (bought used a few years ago) and love what she can do.....It does have a couple things that I never use (knee lift and the button to sew/stop) but that is just old habits....I do love the accufeed system and rarely sew anything without using one of the 3 accufeed feet that I have....I do fmq and straight line quilting on king size quilts up to 110x110.....I do use most of the deco stitches and love the auto cut.....I don't like the built in alphabet, just doesn't look good to me....mine is currently in the shop for a good cleaning and adjustments and am being forced to use daughter's cheapo brother.....wow what a difference....mine will sew through 4 layers of quilting cotton, each with fusible fleece....this one is an absolute "NO".....I will be so glad to get her back!
