Love my 830. She was just in the shop for a yearly cleaning and checkup. Missed her sooooooo much. Was using my old 153 and could hardly get used to it. if you use the 57 or 37 foot those are perfece 1/4" inch seem. I have never had a problem with that. So don't worry. Just start in and have fun learning your new baby.

I need reassurance! i just bought the Bernina 830 and am not sure it will be able to sew a good 1/4 seam.

I am currently using a Viking that is probably from the 1960's. Talk about a change. WOW

I have never bought a machine, my mother bought a Kenmore for me at least 40 years ago and the Viking was a gift from a friend.

I am so afraid this expensive machine will not work for me and that I have wasted all that money!

If any of you have the 830 please let me know how you like it. Thanks Janet
