Can't help you with the Bernina 830, but beware of sellers who claim
their household machines are "heavy-duty" or worse yet, "industrial."
They lie. Older machines tend to be more sturdy, being made entirely of
metal, and being of simpler design. They can sew through whatever their
motor has enough power to sew through - heavy denim, leather, even some
wood. That's not unusual for the older domestic machines. If the
needle doesn't break.
