Congratulations on Delayne. I can't imagine how you managed to bend a foot! LOL, you are one serious sewer. I am thankful I never caught the embroidery bug, but my bug is equally expensive (Longarm!!) My Bernina is the 153 Quilters edition. Not near as many bells and whistles and I only use a fraction of what it can do! Can't wait to see you post pictures of your creations.
On the learning curve. Today I was able to repeat last Saturday's embroidery class, by myself. I could find my way around the screens. I even was able to change to a different pattern and stitch it. Yeh! The first two pictures are luggage tags, front and back. The last picture is a quilting pattern, stitched on the embroidery unit.

This past week, spent 3 days at the dealer working on quilting the churn dash blocks of a quilt. Learned to support the quilt because the drag was too much for the embroidery unit to move properly, It had a warning light and stopped. Glad I was at the store because they were able to tell me right away what was wrong. Then as I was supporting the quilt, the quilt folded over the area of stitching and the machine wammed into the fold/foot. Broken needle and another bent foot. They were able to bend it back. Got a good lesson on making sure I got all the broken needle pieces. Then I learned how to set up each block with the embroidery template. Enlarged the stitch out and turned it 45% in the computer to have it set on each block the way I wanted. Used the back up window to reset the machine to continue stitching where the mishap with the drag and broken needle occured.
I like this learning curve. Hit a problem and get an answer within minutes. Then get professional help to get going again. I'm liking this machine. And the dealer. They've been stellar. |
My 820 is named Big Momma. I love my machine, take the mastery classes if available. I have taken one so far, and feel much more confident already.
