I have two friends who have this machine and I have quilted one quilt on one. It's a dream machine to use. I own three Bernina machines, a 940, 170 and a 200, all of which I love. I will buy an 830 when I win the lotto. G
I am also dreaming about the same Bernina 830. It is such a wonderful machine and I love the large size hoops. I am also hoping to afford one some day. I have an Artista 640, which I love. I hope you can afford your dream soon.
Yes, I have had one for eighteen months and it goes beyond my dreams. I love it a lot.
