Yes, a stone is 14 pounds, so Amo's 730 is 24 lbs and the new machine is 19 lbs. We like stones here in the UK, saying I weigh 9 stone sounds much better than 126 lbs (I had to work that out on the calculator  ) ... and yes, it's 9 stone, not 9 stones :shock:  So if it is over the 14 lbs of 1 stone then you use lbs. for the rest? I was surprised when she combined the two different measures. This is interesting. Thanks, Karen |

I've just gone up and put them on the barthroom scales.  Bob is 1 stone 10 pound. '?' is 1 stone 5 pounds. They are about the same in size, Bob just pips it because of the screen really.

I'm seeing her on Thursday, I'll ask if she minds me nameing a machine after her. Some of the talent might transfer then.  If I remember right, a stone is 14 pounds, right? Those are some heavy machines!!! :shock: I wonder how much this one will cost. I'd love to have a Bernina but they're so expensive. eileenkny |

I know Australia, Europe and UK have it but then we were all last with the 8 series.
It's doing a cracking job so far! Mind you it doesn't help when the first time I switch it on it makes the most alarming noise. Took me a moment or so to realise I knocked the bobbin winder forward and it was whirring away empty. There's no big fanfare when it switches on, it just is ready to sew. I don't miss the fanfare. Even OH yells 'Morning Bob', when he hears it. I thought I'd miss the auto cutter but then realsied I don't really use the one on Bob much anyway. The needle threader works just about first time every time! A huge improvement on Bob!! I do miss the pedal back to change the needle position. It seems a very neat and dainty sewer but then it's the 5.5mm throat plate and width and after Bob's 9mm that's hardly surprising. Cjbeg, it can be used totally foot free and has stop start and speed on the head. Alex, her crib looks like a bomb's hit it but it's very sewish and quilterly!! |

Amo,
I spoke to my dealer about your new baby when we had Bernina club yesterday. She was not aware of the series & said that different regions (multiple countries) often had machines with different numbers or features according to their needs.  |
