With innovations growing at an astronomical rate, what cellphone do you have? I’ll never pay for a Blackberry or Iphone even though I’d love the features. I’d rather buy thread and fabric for that monthly bill.
I’ve owned Bernina’s for 30 years. If I ever have to sew an edging stitch on silk again, I’ll use that old 930 Record, because nothing, not even the new Berninas, can make such a beautiful stitch.
Having said that, once I got used to the 730 (and it has taken some doing at times), I wouldn’t want to do without. Yep, there are features of the 830 that I’d love to have, but some of us have to stay in a budget. If I could afford it, I’d get it, and get used to the quirks in tension & threading, just like I did on the 730.
As many of us are on several forums, have you noticed that EverYOne has moments when the high end machines screw up? When I have problems, I’m always figuring it’s operator error.
Have you seen the new Mac Ipad?
