I'm with your husband - go for the 830. I'm not familiar with the Bernina machines at all, but they seem to get high praise on QB. After all you've been through you deserve something special - too bad Wal-Mart took so long to settle, but I'm sure they felt they could wait you out. Hope my daughter doesn't have to wait as long for her accident to settle, but her agent is hopeful they will settle soon. She was rear-ended, had whiplash and lots of other injuries inside and out and is now in danger of losing her job because of the time off. Go for the gold girl, there will never be a better time to treat yourself.

Better not try "jumping" considering your recent repairs! LOL
Congratulations!

I bought my 830 2 1/2 years ago. I love her but I have problems with thread. She likes 50 wt. I had to buy some 30 wt. to do my binding and every few stitches the thread would break. I had to get out my Viking Quilt Designer to do the binding. Talk about a difference in machines. I didn't feel like I had control of the Viking...I couldn't slow the speed down and my binding looks horrible. I need to figure out why I can't use different thread on my 830. That is the only problem I have with her. I am so use to using the 830 and all its features, that when I used the Viking, I realized how spoiled I was. Go for the 830. They make sewing a dream. If I can only figure out the thread thingie, everything will be okay.

Thanks all!!! Part of the reason it's taken so long was the healing of the ankle. It took a couple of doctors to get to the bottom of all of it. But that's fine!
@Olebat! Long time no see and I've got my old Kenmore in the car! We have to make a date!!!!
Hugs to all!
