Bernina 730 replacement does anyone know anything
Artsewer   Intermediate NY USA Member since 2011 Posts: 599	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/6/12 11:08 AM Thinking of getting the 730 replacement. Does anyone know if they will make it come with the embroidery unit like they do with the 580E? I heard it will not have a larger harp space.

I heard no larger harp area as well, and I'm sure it will come with the embroidery unit. It's too high up in the food chain to not come with it! ------ Bernina 730E, 350PE Babylock Audrey Singer 201, 221FW Viking 6570 When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

I think a lot of folks who don't want the heft or hefty price of the 8 series would really enjoy Bernina dual feed. ------ Berninas 820 QE, Artista 630 PQE, Aurora 440 QE, Activa 240, 930 Record, and 731 Baby Lock Quest Plus, Featherweight 221s...

I however, was forced to bless my son with a trailer instead of me with a new machine. I am so thrilled to be back into my sewing room, that I am no longer interested in any other high end machines. I have decided that having a huge harp area would be the only reason to have a new machine, and that's only if I really get into quilting. ------ Bernina 730E, 350PE Babylock Audrey Singer 201, 221FW Viking 6570 When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

The $$$ amont is going to be really high. I bet near the $9000 mark. I wonder what it will be called and if it is a new series being made. As for me, still waiting for my 630. I had hoped it would be this week. It seems like it has been years and not just 10 days ago I decided the 630 is IT. ------ I enjoy quilting as it calms my mind Bernina 630 / no embroidery module Pfaff 2036 Babylock Molly Bernina 1200DA serger

I live in another country from the Bernina dealer (2hours flight) and bringing back home my B530 was already a stress, I pray I won't have to take it back to the dealer too often. The B820/830 are out of reach also because of their size and weight (and price of course, but that's another thing). But if Bernina is making a 7 something that has many features of the B830 + new ones and is normal size, I smell a huuuuuge crush coming my way. ------ Always a novice

My guess is around $7000. Maybe they'll offer a 7 series. One with embroidery, one without like the 8 series? We will know in July. ------ ~Diana~ ♥ Bernina 830E ♥ Bernina 1150MDA serger ✝The Lord is my Light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

I think they'll want them to remain exclusive to the 820/830 so people will want to buy them. I'm thinking harp size, dual feed.

SouthernStitch   Advanced USA Member since 2002 Posts: 5858	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/7/12 1:14 PM I think it'll be higher than $7K. Mine was $6700 brand new, and her price was better than Bernina's special quilt show price at the time. I think the retail at the time was like $7500. Like the 500 series, there could be a month of special introductory pricing too. Maybe these will have something all their own that no other Bernina has, lol. I am going to be sooo happy to set mine up tonight! It's sitting in my recovered sewing room, ready for play! ------ Bernina 730E, 350PE Babylock Audrey Singer 201, 221FW Viking 6570 When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.
