Bernina 830 Review

The Bernina 830, for the most part is wonderful with all of the new technology it covers.  The size is extra large but still fits in a home sewers room comfortably.  It is fast, quiet, and advanced in its features.  The problem is that the sensors are way too sensitive.  It sends out frequent error messages saying there are thread breakages or it is not threaded even when it is threaded.  If it has the wrong thread type or color, or is not threaded tightly enough in the sensors, if the bobbin isn't threaded just so, then the error messages pop up to hinder your sewing.  Even when you think all is right, up pops the error messages.  Because of this, the sewing experience becomes stressful and not a smooth process.  I have had this machine for 4 months and am still hopeful that we get used to each other because I do love the machine. The manual could be more complete.  Hopefully Bernina will add more teaching info to the manual to make our journey easier in learning how to sew with the 830.
