This is one beautifully cared for Bernina artista 200E/730E  with many many extras! It was purchased new in 2004 and has only 32 sewing hours and 229 embroidery hours  on it. It has been fully upgraded to the artista 730 version firmware of 4.51 and has  the Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) installed. With the firware upgrade you are receiving the  BSR system as well as the USB embroidery stick which is filled with many additional embroidery designs. Since it has the BSR upgrade kit already installed, the Bernina artista 200 is absolutely identical to the current artista 730 model.I IiST

My Machine has just been serviced last month (apr 2008) at Bernina

I love this machine as you can probably tell with all the extras and the upgrade to the 730 that I had done on her. She sews and embroiders beautifully. Our favorite together (the machine and I) was the beautiful lace bowls and doileys that were created . Just  beautiful work you will not be disappointed with anything that this machine is capable of doing.

The reason why I am selling my machine is because I purchased my friends embroidery machine who recently passed away of Lupus.

ABOUT THE BERNINA ARTISTA 200E UPGRADED TO 730E

 With my machine being upgraded to the 730E it has every feature that a brand new 73oE has being sold today. You don’t have to have your computer hooked up to the machine. You can use a flash drive to copy designs on using artista format and insert it into the embroidery machine. That is a big help if your computer is located somewhere else in the house.

Only the artista 200E/730E has a Microsoft® Windows® Powered operating system. So, at the touch of a finger to the big, bright centrally located color screen, you can get on-screen help and graphic tutorials. You can import and export embroidery designs and access the myartista portal, a website exclusively for artista 200E/730e owners. And that's not all . . .

Only the artista 200E/730E rescales both embroidery designs and alphabets by changing the stitch count, keeping details sharp and  textures smooth.

Bernina creates these technological advances for one reason only: to help you express yourself more easily and creatively than ever before.

Comprehensive Stitch Library - Over 850 stitches, including 6 alphabet styles, monograms in 3 sizes, 10 buttonholes, 31 quilting stitches and hundreds of decorative stitches, all arranged in intuitive menus, all stitched with Swiss precision

Widest Stitches available - With 9mm stitch width and a wide variety of sideways motion stitches, the artista 200E/730E makes your decorative work larger than life

Ergonomic - The intuitive, large and centrally located color touch screen, 3 thread cutters, bright Cool Fluorescent Light, multifunction knobs and Free Hand System make sewing easier and faster

Sew in 16 Directions - Expand your creative horizons with over 100 sideways motions stitches. Create larger-than-life scallops, borders and monograms. Use the 4-direction stitches for practical applications.

Setup Program - Allows you to customize your machine for the way you sew.

The artista 200/730E is a sewer’s dream—for garments, home decorating projects

or crafts. Imagine choosing from 855 stitches, all sewn with Swiss precision.

Easily adjust stitch width and length, change needle position on any stitch,

and save favorite or altered stitches—all at your finger tips!

And, especially for garment sewers, On-Screen Buttonhole Measuring is a

favorite feature. Simply hold your button to the screen, use the knobs to

adjust length, and the artista sews perfect, repeatable buttonholes every time.

Embroidery. Oh, my! The artista embroidery module takes embroidery to an

amazing level with more than 100 built-in designs from which to choose. You’ll

transfer designs between your PC and your machine with your Bernina USB Stick.

You’ll combine designs, edit, add lettering and more right on the large touch

screen in full color and detail. No other system rescales embroidery like the

artista  200/730E, recalculating the number of stitches needed, so your designs, and your alphabets, are perfect at any size.

Artlink Software - Extends the embroidery capabilities of your machine. View, scale, rotate and mirror image embroidery designs in ART format on your own large PC screen. Includes additional embroidery motifs.

Bobbin Winding While Embroidering - Easily refill your bobbins without having to stop your embroidery (or sewing). Easy front-loaded bobbin makes it a breeze to change bobbins without having to remove the hooped project

**This is something awesome that I love is the bobbin case is front loaded so if by chance you run out of bobbin while embroidering you do not have to take the embroidery hoop off to replace the bobbin, you just open the door in the front and exchange empty bobbin for a new one. Cool huh

Please check all the capabilities of this machine at www.berninausa.com or www.bernina.com so much to list.

********Patented* Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR)************ This patented innovation turns free-motion stitching into creative play. Only the Bernina Stitch Regulator regulates straight and zigzag stitches at variable lengths, so you can create consistent, free-motion stitching with complete confidence. And you don’t have to fuss with platforms or foot pedals or frames––however, BSR can be used with a frame for additional creative options. No other home sewing machine in the world offers you this type of feature! You’ll love it for making quilts, garments, home decorating projects and crafts too.   Quilters have special demands, and the artista is designed to meet them. For instance, the exclusive Bernina Stitch Regulator turns free-motion stitching into creative play. It automatically regulates stitches at variable lengths, so you can create consistent, free-motion stitching the very first time you try it. You’ll love it for making quilts, garments, home decorating projects and crafts, too. Quilters need to keep both hands on the fabric for guiding and pivoting. So the Bernina Free Hand System lets you lift the presser foot and lower the feed dog with your knee. And, of course, Bernina power and precision let you quilt through several layers easily and neatly.   *****BERNINA USB STICK***** Mutliport Connectivity - Bernina uses the latest USB technology for rapid and direct              communication between your artista and your PC.
