Bonnie in Ok Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 I am looking at a Bernina 790 plus machine and wanting to know if anyone owns one and if there seems to be any issues with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Bonnie, Have you checked the reviews on patternreview.com? There are four reviews on there. You may have to set up a user name and password to view the older reviews. I think that you can see reviews newer than six months without setting up an account.

sewingpup Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 HI Bonnie, I don't have a 790....but have a Bernina 630....never got the embroidery arm for it. but did get and use the stitch regulator.....I have had this Bernina for quite a while and have used it mainly for piecing and I love using it for that....I was thinking about getting a newer one...but our Berina Dealer left the area and another one has not come....I would definitely consider Bernina as a potential new purchase. I would however, check out this potential machine...these machines have a lot of computer cards and finding a good service person for them would be important. Is this a pre-owned machine? has it been recently serviced? I would check things out..they are pricey...Bernina's can cost as much or more than a long-arm.....but I think are harder to service than our longarms….Lin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie in Ok Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks for all the info I did purchase a new Bernina 790 and really enjoying it. There is a local service for the machine so all is left is to sew. I had an 830 but didn't like it as much as the 790. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingpup Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Bonnie, Glad you are enjoying it! I really am sad that we don't have a local dealer anymore...it would be about a 2-3 hour drive for me one way to the nearest one...do-able....but....not convenient...I will keep on stitching on my 630 until she goes down...good thing I have a Lucey also for the quilting!!!!!!

sewingpup Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 HI all…. Just found out a new dealer is getting her Bernina's in today! Yeah! I am so happy!. Visited the store yesterday and the two ladies were so friendly and helpful....looking forward to visiting their store again....now I don't have to travel 150 miles one way to a Bernina dealer.....Lin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longarm Machines Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Did you end up buying a Bernina 790? My wife has one and loves it.....they are great machines. A few years ago Bernina had a great deal, buy a Bernina 790 and get a custom Koala Cabinet for free. We took the deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
