SIZE MATTERS

I can't get the country western song, "Size Matters", by Joe Nichols out of my head after seeing the new Bernina 830 at Bernina University in Kansas City last Wednesday. I can't get the machine out of my head either. The BIG sewing area (12" from needle to head), and FAST speed (1100 stitches per minute for sewing and 1000 stitches per minute for embroidery) along with the HUGE bobbin (which holds 40-60% more thread than a standard bobbin) were enough for me to make a buying decision. But, there is so much more to love. You really need to check it out by going to the website devoted to this machine - - - http://www.bernina8series.com/. If you were unable to watch the global internet launch of the machine on July 21, you can still see the webcast on the website above. Or, come into the store and play with the Bernina 830 simulator that we have on our laptop. We have a sewing and embroidery sample for the machine as well as a bobbin. Here's what one of our customers said about the machine after watching the webcast - - - WOW!!!!! Is there anything they didn't think of? What grabbed my attention first - size of the sewing space, size of the embroidery field, better hoops, larger bobbin, auto threading. I love the idea of the not having to slide the mega hoop! Dual feed sounds like it might be a great feature for getting those quilting points to match exactly. After that it becomes a blur of wonderful features. Bernina wasn't kidding when they said it was a whole new sewing experience! And, of course, Bernina does it all with "THE" standard of excellence.
