One day I would like a second embroidery machine. I have now a Bernina 730. I would like one with the biggest area to embroider on but my budget is limited. What machine would you suggest and can you tell me what is the best feature of that machine. Many thanks.

Everyone loves what they have, so we all of course have different ideas as to what is best. I have the Janome MC11000SE and I love it and would upgrade to the 12000 if I could afford it, but.... I guess I'd have to say you would have to have a look at machines and pick some out that you like and have a good dealer for and then come at us for extra info. I have a really good size screen and the 12000 can use your pc for its screen.

I can work around hoop size with mega hoop and splitting designs. Had a 180 Bernina and now 730. No room for bigger.

I think you already have it... That is what I have and I dfont want the 830, just too big and heavy.
