Bernina Aurora 440QE

On Fon's & Porter's Love of Quilting Show, I saw Faith Reynolds
demostrate the new Berina Aurora 440QE that will be available sometime
in March for purchase.

My question is, has anyone heard pros and cons about the machine? This
machine has a stitch regulator and I understand I can have the
embroidery module addded on (since I use my current embroidery machine
to quilt with). I use both quite a bit. I am excited about this and it
maybe time to upgrade from my Janome Memorycraft 9000.

Let me know what you have heard about these machines.

Thanks in advance
Teresa from Michigan

There is info on the Bernina web page. Why oh why don't they
offer and extended harp on the thing? The stitch regulator sounds
pretty neat. I'd like to hear more too.

I saw this machine at the HOuston Show. While nice to have a SR, i didn;t
think yiu would gain too much of anything besides that. You will still have
to wrestle with a quilt for FM quilting. The throat did not seem any bigger.

Some of the Bernina mail lists are buzzing like crazy. The general
consensus is that the machines (there are four new ones) are wonderful
but pricey. I'm drooling over the idea of the stitch regulator! G

I am not Bernina savvy - will this machine replace the Artista or will that
still be the top of the line? And what on earth do Berninas COST? I can't
get a price anywhere which of course tells me it is really really expensive.
LOL.

Gosh, I don't know.
6 - 7 thousand (US) for a top of the line?
Anyone?

I wish I could answer your questions, Rhonda, but I don't know!

I test drove this machine at the Quilt Festival last fall. It's pretty
cool. The Aurora is not the new TOL machine. I honestly cannot remember
what the prices were. I am considering this without the embroidery unit
since I already have a nice emb. machine. It might be pretty nice to use
with one of the small quilt frames. Looking forward to hearing more once
the machine hits the street.

Hi Rhonda,
I have the Artista 200 and really love it!! I had the 180 and this one is
much more user friendly!! If i remember correctly it cost somewhere in the
ballpark of $7000. But I told DH that of course I'm worth every penny. LOL

My LQS says the SRP without the embroidery module will be $3499, and they
will have if for $2499 through the month of February. Bernina will actually
start shipping to them sometime in March, and they need to get you on a list
"right now" if you want your machine to be in that first shipping. they
expect a back order list for some time after that.
