Advise Bernina 730e

Of course the shop that I asked this question to gave me a demo on the Ellisiomo gold priced at $10,000. Yikes!

It has the ability to change the size, rotate, mirror image and move the design all on the screen. Usually you have to have some kind of software to do these things. My Bernina dealer said that the newer machines won't have this feature. Very easy to use. ------ Ada

Many 730 owners love theirs. It wasn't the 730 that I didn't like as much as the Windows operating system. ------ Patricia Bernina 830LE ~ Bernina 630E ~ Bernina B350SE Vintage Postcard Dragonfly ~ Juki TL2010Q ~ Babylock Enlighten ~ Babylock BLCS "One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests.

I think it's an excellent choice to learn embroidery. The Windows portion of it means it takes longer to boot up, but after that its not as slow at all. The only time you have to wait is if loading a giant embroidery. I do love mine too, it's a lovely machine. ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

You do need to make sure that the interface is something that you'd like. You want to bond with your machine! ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.
