I just bought the Bernina 830. I owned the greatest machine prior to that time, the Bernina 200 upgraded to 730. But Bernina did it again, they beat themselves better by putting out this machine. Not only is the screen much easier to read, but the icons and the versatility of items on the screen are much easier to understand. The auto threader is a cinch and you just step on the peddle and go. Without having to using your hand (once you get used to the idea) for lifting of lowering pressure foot, you have it made. The embroidery is just tremendous, much faster and easier (how can that be??) I have not received the largest hoop yet, but when I do those quilt are going to have the prettiest embroidery designs on them. You can change the number of stitches you want for locking at the beginning and end of your work. You can change needle up or down very easily, and I just love the hover position of the presser foot at the beginning of stitching. Soooooo much more, you will just have to try it out yourself.
