Hi
I also upgraded to the Bernina 440QE last year - I am not a computer programer, so I needed something simple,
SewWhatPro works wonderfully. You can file save in several formats, resize, merge file, chance colors, ect. pretty quickly,
and this is not an expensive program.

Hi, I'm Karen from Northeast Georgia. I was happy to see that you were mentioning two states (NC and GA). It's nice to know that someone is close by.
I have a Bernina and have used Bernias for at least 25 years. The Bernina that you purchased (no matter what price or style - I have the Quilters Edition) will be a dream to sew on. The Bernette is a machine that is not made in the same country as the Bernina and never would I put it in the same class as your new machine. Once you learn how to thread and fill the bobbins, it will be a cinch to sew - especially since you will do mostly straight stiching. You can buy different feet (some people do not like this aspect, but I do) to use for different projects. For example, I use Foot # 37 for doing the quarter-inch stitching. Since I am a beginner for quilting, I take classes and my shops only use Bernina's. Just enjoy...
