The major news this month is that I bought a new sewing machine! And, yes, this loyal Janome girl crossed over and bought a Bernina! It is the 550QE! I am so in love with her! I have named her Earline, in memory of my Uncle Earl, whose inheritance money I used to buy her. Earline has been purring like a kitten, responding like the fine European machine that she is! She has not been fussy about threads or needles. I am getting used to the BSR (Bernina Stitch Regulator). I will be taking a class later this week to learn more about that feature. I also am going to be taking an advanced Heirloom quilting class with Millie Sorrells on Saturday.
The "S" shape is the first one I attempted to stitch. I used a multi-colored Mettler thread to do all these! I did not use the BSR, but will play with that later to see about getting some better stitch control!
PS: I will be selling my Janome 7700, if anyone in my area is interested, let me know!
Those feathers are looking fabulous!! Great that you're loving the new machine.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new purchase. I used inheritance money to buy my Janome 6500 way back when. :-) I sometimes get emotional when I think about trading it in on another. Maybe that's kind of weird. This book looks good. I will have to look for it. Your feathers are awesome. I can't really get the hang of them. Keep up the good work!
