New Delivery

I got a new delivery today! My mom recently bought a Bernina 830 so she offered me her old Bernina 200E/730. YEAH - so now I have two wonderful Bernina 200E/730s! YEAH! I plan to keep one of the machines setup for embroidery all the time and the other will be used mostly for piecing, sewing and quilting since it has that nifty little BSR - Bernina Stitch Regulator. With a little fiddling about late this afternoon, I got everything setup and tested the newly arrived Bernina - nothing sews like a Bernina!

Embroidery Workshop at Sew This!

I had the best time last weekend teaching an embroidery workshop at my local Bernina dealer, Sew This! is Abita Springs, LA. The room was full of machine embroidery enthusiasts and we all had a grand time learning and sharing the day of stitching. We covered some basics of stabilizer selection and hooping techniques and we were all off and running on several projects. Some of these gals had never even used their embroidery modules (can you believe that!) but within the first hour they were all embroidering!!!! Thanks to Mona and Deba at Sew This! for inviting me to teach this great workshop. Looking forward to the next workshop on March 6th!
