A note from Doris Paul, BERNINA 200E owner in Hawaii:
I've learned to enjoy my artista 200E, learned to use my computer to transfer patterns/etc. and have constructed 13 beautiful quilts from beginning to end (sizes from single to extra large king). I've also made numerous pieces of clothing and other items. I've kept my 1030 but have found that the artista is very strong and capable of hours and hours of fine sewing. That you for all the neat videos and helps that are available! I've been a BERNINA owner for many years, and they're the BEST!
One of my largest quilts was an extra large king, pattern from Quilting Illusions by Celia Eddy. Over 2000 pieces to assemble! My daughter from California requested it with pillow shams to match.
