Let me introduce you to Nina!!!!
I bought her this morning and I have been having fun ever since!! I got her second hand from a lady in town who is upgrading. It was a great opportunity that I hadn’t really thought I would get….. I mostly wanted it for the stitch regular, although there are other cool features that Bernie doesn’t have. Also, if I ever want to get the embroidery module I can.
When I got home I got some scraps and started playing right away. As you can see above, I put the BSR on and had some fun! But just practicing on a few scraps gets rather boring, so… I dragged out a quilt I had started to stipple with Bernie oh… 18 months ago?! It wasn’t going well, so I shelved it… but now…. I got it out and FINISHED quilting it!!!
I was very impressed with the stitch regulator. It really makes a difference. Now I still need to practice getting the shapes right, and the rythm of it all. Also the tension needs a bit of work… but all in all, I was very happy! I used gold embroidery thread which was making life difficult for me on Bernie, but went much better using the BSR.
Soooooooo…. nothing like a wonderful new machine to get me motivated to finish more quilt tops!!! Yay!!!!
You are like my Domestic Hero. I have a machine (very basic) but I haven't used it in probably three years because I had so much trouble with it. Nothing is more frustrating than a machine that won't do right :). You do amazing work and I realllllly wish you were my neighbor so you could teach me this stuff!
Very nice…you will be flying thru quilts now…if you get all of yours done I could send some your way….have fun….
Ha ha Mama Hen! I think you need to find another hero, because I'm not that great! It does make so much difference having a good machine though, and I'd love to come live next door to you – we'd have a ball, and the kids would too!
Wendy, you'd better let me practice a bit more before you send any flying my way!!
