B830 is coming home with me

[Norma H.]

Dear lovely quilters ,

I truly appreciate all the replies I had received with any question that I had posted.
That actually help me to decide to upgrade my 2 months old B550QE to B830.
I ordered it yesterday and now I am doing my count down ....

Any advise about what software SH I get ?
My package in Singapore given is not as rosy as those in United state .
We don't have retreat or V6 software .....

Embroidery will be next thing to learn.
Of course quilting is my passion but since it comes with embroidery function , why not learn it too
All expert quilters , please share with me what are the pro n cons I will be facing.
Cheers,
Lili

Congratulations! I had not embroidered before I bought the 830. I wasn't sure how much I would do, but wanted the option to have it. I have enjoyed it and have made a few projects. Bernina offers tons of webinars on using the 830. All the past ones can be accessed in a number of places and downloaded to watch at your convenience. Sign up for bernina_series8 yahoo group and they have them all there.

The URL for the Bernina 830 Yahoo Group is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bernina_series8/ and another site I found useful when first learning how to use my 830 was http://www.exnovodesign.com. Enjoy your 830--when I bought mine, I never looked back and it is a joy to sew with it.

Congratulations on your new 830.
I bought mine a year ago and absolutely love it! Great machine.
I've been doing embroidery and quilting. Went through a lot of trial and error, so keep us posted.
I do wish they offered online video courses on the mastery classes. It may have saved me some trials...
If you ever need help we're here.
Enjoy!

If you go to http://www.exnovodesign.com you will find the 830 and when you click and go to that page, scroll down, on the bottom left side of the page you will find all seven of the Bernina online video mastery classes. There is also a file with "homework" associated with the mastery classes and if you do that, you will find that the trial and error will diminish significantly. Lili, I think I already passed on to you this web page.

how lovely for you with your new Bernina and you will have such a perfect machine for every aspect of sewing, so good luck with it and have a great day.

p.s. are you going to name your machine.........

Renata,
Thank you so much for the link! I was up until 2:00 a.m. watching video's, I couldn't walk away. Thank goodness it was a weekend...
The information here is resolving my unanswered questions or minor annoyances and given me some new ideas.
Again, thank you so much!
Love to quilt and love to create!
Barb
