Bernina Update

My Bernina is half dead. Let's observe a moment of silence.












From here on out, it will only make a straight stitch, no zig zags, no blind stitching, etc. It's only going to limp me along until I save money, turn 30 and invest in this:


From the same time period, Bernina's 830 model is a few steps up from where I was. This machine has all metal gears, more power, and a few more stitch options. I'll have to treat myself this winter when I hit the big 3-0. This machine will surely take away a bit of the sting of old age...

Sewing Hiatus

My beloved Bernina is on the fritz. The other day as I was sewing, it decided to start making a horrid, angry grinding noise. I've tried oiling it, to no avail. I'm taking it to the Bernina doctor tomorrow, hopefully it's an inexpensive diagnosis!
