I took in my 22yo sewing machine for repairs today (again) and decided to look at new machines...and I bought a Bernina! I feel a little guilty spending the $, but it should last a very long time, right??? I did not get one of the fancy schmancy models that do embroidery, hook up to your computer (!!!) if you want, etc. Mine has a few decorative stitches. Mainly, though, it sews like butter! I don't know how else to describe it. Glides along so smoothly.

I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging! I'm just happy. I finished a tank swimsuit I'd cut out for dd a long time ago. She's a tall, thin 11 yo...too tall for little girl sizes and too skinny for juniors...which are mostly bikinis anyway. Yikes. She was wearing a suit I made for her older sister, but is very happy with her new one. (We belong to a rec center so we can swim year round.)
Next I plan to make curtains for my dd, then valances for dh's office.

They're repairing my old machine for free; I'm going to keep it for the kids to use. They wouldn't take it as a trade-in anyway.

Happily stitching away,

Patty

YAY!! I love my Bernina, I got a second to the top model in the spring of '93(a 1230) it has never been in for repairs, and the best part? When I look on ebay to see what my machine might go for if I ever sold it( ), it is selling for what I paid back then...so it really keeps it's value!!!

Have fun with your new machine!

You are going to LOVE your Bernina! It is such a workhorse. I have an 1130 that I bought in 1981. I have never had a lick of trouble with it.
Congratulations!!
