Bernina 830 Review

The new Bernina 830 is the most remarkable embroidery/sewing machine I have ever used.  The features are usable, easy, mechanically and automatically correct, and fast!  The fact that it has a huge bobbin, about 40% larger than any other embroidery machine on the market, makes it ideal for designs that require huge thread counts.  It is quiet, and very stable.  The screen set-up makes adding multiple designs and "regular" stitches to the "stitch-out' is extremely easy and well thought out.  I can even SAVE  these new design configurations and stitches as a single design!! The lighting in the sewing area is fantastic--7 halogen.  The spacing under and accross the sewing area is very large and makes it very easy to manipulate large projects: quilts, jackets, wall hangings.

This machine is a work-horse with a couture attitude!

As a garment maker and design conscious sewer, I cannot imagine owning any other machine!
