Thank you to the Sewing Studio team for information & support that helped my final decision to purchase this machine. A joy to use with all the features I wanted, it's quiet and the quality of it shows. Taking time to discover just how much this machine can do however the level of control over stitch speed & length, hands free hover, ease of changing presser feet, workspace & light are impressive. The handbook is so useful & essential when getting to know the machine eg threading. Pleased I took time to consider options & finally invest in the Bernina 570QE
