After spending the morning going through and getting all my class photos, i started missing sewing and playing with my new sewing machine.
The story started 2 weeks ago when i took my little compact sewing machine to class. That was when my lovely quilt teacher broke the sad news to me that my little one wouldn't be able to handle any heavy duty sewing and this included quilting. It was either to get a "real" sewing machine or hand quilting. I've always know that i will want to buy a "real" machine some day, i decided to order my very own bobbin a bobbin and peddle a peddle!
And so that's the story, friends.
I am SO happy with my Bernina! This machine is so slick and smooth! It doesn't only have a lot of fun functional stitches including embroidery stitches, but it has an automatic needle threader! Yippee! I had spent my third quilting class getting acquainted with this snazzy machine. I made sure i get familiar with the basics such as attaching the presser footer holder, winding and inserting the bobbin, threading the bobbin and upper thread, securing a seam and feed the dog! My teacher also taught me how to do simple trouble shooting and getting the feel of it with sewing all the different stitches. It was indeed another good day at class. Yep, i really have no complaints! :)
I wanted also to say thank YOU for all the super kind and supportive comments sent my way on my last post! Once again, i'm in awe of how amazing the creative community is ~ it really astounds me but most of all it reaffirms for me that people are mostly good, kind and supportive of one another. That is really important to me. Thank you so much for that!
Have a lovely merry colorful mid-week! Love to you and yours!
Hooray for you that you got a Bernina! They are awesome!
My Bernina inspired my LOVE of sewing and really opened creative doors for me. I hope that yours is just as inspirational. Take care!

This sounds like a fabulous sewing machine! I am in the market for a new one that can handle the layers of a quilt, so I am going to look into this one. Sounds like you are in such a great class. Have fun with the new toy!

This is a little sad for the little machine...I think it is so cute. Your new Bernina is really cool though. Wow, soon you will be teaching us some tricks.

Awesomeness! You're progressing so quickly and well =). I only wish I have that much patience - my 1 month old sewing machine is still waiting for me to explore it thoroughly. I shall find the time to do that soon =D
