Dang, it's pretty! I had my daughter and grandbabe with me... so I only had two hours to mill around the whole show. I'll probably go back on Saturday by myself so I can really take time to look at machines more closely. Oh - $9,000 show price. -- Edited on 7/12/12 8:43 PM -- ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel. My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it. 2012: New Elna Lotus (mostly for granddaughter), Red Elna Press, Horizon 7700, Gidget 2 Table, Babylock Ellisimo Gold 1970's: Elna SU62 & ElnaPress

Love the show price...coz it makes me feel better for spending half that on my new machine, lol! How does the stainless steel hold up on the bed, does it get scratched up? I love how that looks, and it sure would be a great match to my home decor. A machine entirely in chrome...OMG I'd HAVE to have that!!! Brushed chrome on the upper areas where e Bernina is black, and polished chrome elsewhere...!!! ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!

Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.

In the photos it not only looks to be longer than the 580 but also taller and generally bigger all over. Like a 580 on growth hormones. Is this the case? ------ Belinda.

The 730E was only around $6899. I'm sure it's a great machine, but if it's $9,000, I would skip it and buy the 830 for not that much more. Just my two cents. ------ ~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?
