Update: I got my 630 December 19 and haven't played much yet. It is just different enough in shape and size that I needed a new insert for my cabinet--a brand-x cabinet I've had since my first Bernina, 1130, 25 years ago--no new inserts available. Luckily, my husband is a woodworker and he is building me a new insert--it is custom-fitted but will take a few more days of staining and polyurethaning to suit him.
Right now, I'm finding it awkward to change the feet and haven't gotten the hang of the needle threader yet but I'll get there. Today I will play the DVD that came with it to get up to speed hopefully.
I bought it mainly for the BSR but haven't even opened the box on that puppy yet--really waiting for the insert to have a level "playing field" for quilting.
Additional feet I bought include #10, 32, 37,50, and the single hole throat plate, which hasn't come in yet.
So glad I still have my 1230--what a great workhorse that machine is. With time I hope to love the 630 as much.
I'm going into my busiest time of year, tax season, so won't have hours to sew--but I'll still get some quiltmaking done this year--a 3rd Washington Medallion--like Stars for a New Day--and I'm teaching a year-long class on Washington Medallion--actually 2 different classes due to the demand. Should be a great year!
