I have 790 and I do lots and lots of quilting on my machine it has the best stitches for quilting I have had ,I just select my straight stitch it set the tension, does a locking stitch when I start and off I go . I only got the 790 because I also like to do Embriodery at times .

I love my 770QE...I did a ton of research and checked reviews before making the purchase a little over a year ago and I have never been sorry. I love everything about the machine and find it great for FMQ though it took me a bit to get used to the BSR. I also own two Janomes that are great but the 770 is my everyday machine.

If you haven't already, check patternreview.com for reviews of this machine. You may have to sign up to see all the reviews (signing up is free and they do not inundate you with emails). The reviews give date purchased, purchase price, plus actual user reviews of the machine. I did a search on the Bernina 770 and came up with 14 reviews. Not sure you will be able to view them without signing up and doing the search yourself, but this is the page I got:
https://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi...anyID=2&Type=1
Most of the searches are 5-star, but the 3-star review and another I scanned quickly noted that this machine is not for everyone and that it has a steep learning curve (at least for some people).

Thanks so much for your info. I will do my due diligence and go to Babylock and the Husquavarna/Janome/Pfaff store as well since it is so much money, but I'm sure I won't be buying another machine in the future. I have had my little Janome since 1984 so I guess it's time for a new machine.
