What EmpressG1973 likes about this machine
This machine is incredibly powerful for it's size. It can sew leather! I purchased the embroidery module with it and have been extremely pleased with the way everything runs. It is reliable and as long as it is used as directed, have had ZERO issues with it. I can honestly say that this may very well be the last sewing machine I buy. And it was the entry level embroidery machine at the time I purchased it.

What EmpressG1973 does not like about this machine
Presser feet can be costly when you need a certain kind and you can only buy them from a Bernina dealer.

Sounds like a great machine! Enjoy this machine. I believe they are made to last. Not very many modern machines are that solid.

I love my 430 and I agree - I don't need another machine - it's perfect - although I see I do need to buy the embroidery module - I have a MAC so I'm afraid of the conversion with the software!
