DH bought me a Bernina 710!!!! It will be dedicated to my quilt frame and I'm excited because it has an 11" harp. Currently I use my Bernina 440 to quilt but it only has approx. a 7" harp. The extra inches will make quilting so much easier and not having to move my heavy machine will be a blessing.

You are so fortunate! Enjoy that machine! I am quilting a full size quilt on my Bernina Artista 200 with its 7" harp and wishing that I had more space. I do love the BSR. If I didn't have that, I'd really complain. I'd say that you got the best Christmas present ever.

Oh what a fabulous husband just what you needed. I purchased a juki straight stitch for my frame for the same reason. I gave up quilting large quilt on my bernina 440 and split large quilts into smaller shapes. It is so much easier.
Unfortunately we are not as fit as the 30 year olds who say do this a husband who understands these problems. Have fun.

Congratulations. I recently bought a Janome 8200 with the 11" harp space to put on my frame. I'm also waiting for the Janome 15000 but it won't be delivered until February. It will be designated embroidery machine only.
