Date: 9/6/12 8:57 PM Dealer had the Bernina 780 demo this evening ... and all I can say is: What a BIG BOY machine this is! Enjoyed seeing it, but too big for me ... I would really like to see and touch a 750, but they only have the 780 for a short time. And to just add some magic to the evening, I put a deposit down for the 830LE! Oh my!! ------ Bernina 830LE Bernina 630 Bernina 830 Record Babylock Ellegante 2 Featherweights 2 Featherweight Red and Black

Just big and sort of chunky looking in size. the 830LE is more svelte looking ... I chose the 830LE because I really like the looks of this machine, and I was able to sit and sew for a while. I knew that unless the 780 had a real WOW factor, I'd be going for the 830LE. No big WOW factor as far as I could see. No dissing the 780, just not the machine I was looking for. ------ Bernina 830LE Bernina 630 Bernina 830 Record Babylock Ellegante 2 Featherweights 2 Featherweight Red and Black

Date: 9/6/12 10:17 PM I saw the 780 today for the first time, and to me it looked bulkier than the 830. Even though the screen is crisper, it doesn't automatically thread which is a big minus when I'm embroidering and want to change threads without risking bumping the hoop. Also a big minus is that the dual feed is not adjustable, a feature I find indispensable on my 830. And I got the feeling the 780 won't cost much less than the 830. I don't get what Bernina was thinking, unless they have a bigger and better Bernina up their sleeves :) -- Edited on 9/6/12 10:23 PM -- ------ "Look at the donut, not at the hole" Bernina 830e and 215, Featherweight 221 and 222k, Viking 150e, Babylock Sashiko

I feel with the price point of new Berninas they should have the above options. Decisions Decisions; I'm a quilter and it seem I have to consider embroidery to get the options that I need. You have no idea how helpful you and this site has been. Again, thank you all!! :-)

I wish I could just get the doggone 830LE and call it a day. If you don't want or need embroidery, then go for that 820. Sylvia - congrats on your new LE!! I got an email today from my dealer. She has a floor model sale going on, which includes the LE. I will have to go by there Saturday and see what she wants for it. Just to see you know. Not like I'm coming home with one or anything. -- Edited on 9/6/12 11:21 PM -- ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Juki TL2010 Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

According to the yahoo groups, the 7 series machines are about 31 lbs, and the 8 series are around 39lbs, and the footprint measurement of the 7 series is smaller. So scratching my head a bit here.... ------ 🌸 Plenty of machines, mostly Berninas 🌸
