I have had a few Bernina's and still have one. I have always taken the classes from my dealer and if I don't remember how to do something I go back to the class again. I can attend as many times as I want to. Keep going to the classes until you are comfortable with your machine and you will like it.

Same here, never had a problem, if I did I read the book to get answers and off I went, but I am mechanally inclined, and refuse to let anything get the better of me.

I have all Vikings, from the Diamond down , 5 Vikings. I was told by my dealer, who used to work with other brands, that she thought the Vikings were the easiest machines to learn and use. I LOVE them and wouldn't go to anything else, but I have to confess, I also have never used anything else but did have Singers at one time. Would never have a Singer machine again. Love the old ones, but not the newer ones. Using a sewing machine is like riding a bike or ice skating, practice practice practice. You have to keep trying new things, and then you will grow to love your machine.

I am a previous Bernina user and have switched to a top of the line Brother and have not looked back.
IMHO Bernina is just too highly engineered for the average sewer. The operating system in not user friendly.
I had my new Brother out of the box and edited and sewed a design in 2 hours. I was amazed. Read the manual for about half an hour. You cannot do this with a Bernina.

I have a Babylock Crescendo which I bought while visiting in Atlanta and had it shipped to Wisconsin. I have no dealer nearby, but don't need one. The manual is extensive and the machine is extremely user friendly. It seems to operate intuitively, with clear icons and a gentle chime when I do something wrong--then it suggests what I should do. It also has a help menu on the hard drive which is easy to read on the large display. The sales person at the Atlanta Sewing Center where I bought the machine said that it is actually designed for newer sewers and is very supportive. I really love this machine and am very happy I bought it.
