Ruby - I just got my new 730 less than a year ago and I can't imagine how much more they could do! Just love this new machine - although I was lucky enough to keep my 165 for piecing and garment construction. I'm interested in seeing the new machine, but can't imagine there'd be enough to make me change from this great new Queen - to say nothing of not being able to afford to! Hope you continue to enjoy your 730 as much as I do!

I won't be able to afford a machine like that, and I'm not even sure that I would want one. I often see quilters struggle in workshops with their complex machines. I rather use a basic one and get things done.

One of my friends commented yesterday that the way the prices for top of the range domestic machines are going we will soon have to make a decision to either buy the domestic machine or a longarm (or a new car). :)

By the way, Husqvarna is also bringing out a top of the range new machine, also with a wider than average throat, also with all sorts of embroidery bells and whistles, also in July. Should be interesting to compare the two machines.

Mmmm... I'm betting closer to the $9k-$12k range.

I have an OLD Bernina 830 from 1972!

Funny they chose the same name.

Well, the new Viking machine was just unveiled and its price tag is $8999. Whew...these prices on sewing machines are getting way up there! I would think that the Bernina might be more or at least as much as the Viking machine.

I don't suppose anyone knows that this machine is going to retail for? Anyone care to guestimate?

Rumor has it that it definitely will have have a larger harp and 40 new features many unique to Bernina. The new machine is coming out. My dealer has confirmed it. It will be introduced to the dealers at the July BU and then to the public.
I really don't know particulars other than it's the 830.

Is there any word on whether it will have a wider harp?

New Bernina 14 May 2008 18:45 #18209

There's a lot of buzz going on about the new Bernina coming out. Dealers have been informed and it should be introduced this summer. It sounds great. I understand there should be a video about it coming out on the nineteenth. Hope this is accurate! It sounds like it's going to have really great features! Can't wait.
(It will be called the 830)
