I've had mine for about 3 years and love it; didn't get the embroidery stuff, tho. I'm still learning how to take advantage of all the stitches, BSR, etc. Do wish it had a longer arm but it has been a wonderful machine. Have never owned anything but a Bernina and have found the dealers are all good, no matter where we have been since we are mostly full-time RVrs.

Thank you, I will check that out!

I have the 430 and love it. I already had a walking foot that would fit so I bought the BSR. It does everything the 440 does, a few less decorative stitches, but I don't use them that much.

I bought mine when the 440QE first came out. I had just retired and had some buy out money. Went to look at machines with a friend, because I was not a sewer and wanted to get into quilting. She tried out the 440 and said she would love to have it, but had just bought a new other Bernina. On her recommendation I bought it. I don't regret it although at the time I thought it was a lot of money. Later I bought a Janome Gem to take to sit and sew, but only because it was much lighter and I wanted a back up machine in case the 440 had to go into the shop. No comparision between machines. I think the Bernina will sew through anything. The 440 has only been in to be cleaned once and never have had any other problems.

Bought mine 2 yrs ago and love it. However, have never even unpacked the embroidery unit.....have decided that part doesn't interest me and I want to sell it. I've used the BSR and really like it. Still learning all the features of this machine....like how to do a buttonhole and using memory features.

I have a Bernina 440QE and absolutely love it. It is actually my second Bernina product.I had an Artista 185E which is a great machine, but I thought just a little too sophisticated for me. So, I traded it in for a 440QE. I have it 3 years and so far I've made 2 wall hangings and a Queen sized quit. All of which turned out great. I highly recommend the QE440.I am patiently waiting, saving money to purchase a Hinterberg Machine quilting frame to partner with my 440QE. Good Luck in your search!Fractured Prisms

My first Bernina was a gently used 440 Loved it! Went back a few weeks later and got the embroidery module, love it too! Recently traded it in on a Bernina 730 with embroidery module. I am in love with it! You can't go wrong with the 440 it is an awesome machine! Once you use it you will be hooked. One word of advice, take the free mastery classes, you will learn so much about your machine and all it can do!

I have a Bernina 630 (with embroidery attachment) and LOVE it. I've had it for 2-3 years. It is my 'dream' machine. I've had a featherweight for years and LOVE it too, but when you need more than straight stitch, I love my Bernina. Have never had any problems or issues with it. I did 'test drive' the new 830....whoa!!! That thing practically does everything itself! Would LOVE to have one, but would need to win the lottery first! :) I highly recommend the Berninas.
