Bernina 850 sewing machine4/6/2024 I'm very happy to say that the Bernina 820 FMQs beautifully for me. It was awful, and made worse by the fact that I'd expected to love that machine. You simply wouldn't believe the number of broken needles I experienced - and in the small gaps between broken needles, I had birds' nests and broken and shredded thread. My previous machine had been purchased specifically for FMQ (having been marketed as such) and was a disappointment for the full 3 years I had it. Where it comes into its own is the free-motion quilting. I expected nothing less, so I won't bother saying more about that. (Warning: long and comprehensive and contains no quilt progress, though I did sneak in a photo at the bottom!) This post has been written over a long period (literally months), but I've probably still forgotten things. Without reservation or hesitation (and with a fair amount of relief), I can say that I love it - it's definitely the sewing machine for me. I've had it now for 22 months, done over 6 million stitches, made and quilted over 30 of my own quilts, and quilted about a dozen customer quilts on it. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time - provide an update on how I feel about my machine.
