It's really an interesting blog ... full of a variety of different
sewing subjects, and very well written and photographed.
I'm also a HUGE 930 fan. I used to do a lot of sewing/quilting
trade shows, and when I found out from the experts about this
'Rolls Royce' of machines and its wonderful reputation for exceptional
quality and longevity, I knew it was the machine for me.
I put my local Bernie dealer on the lookout.
It took about a year, but she found my gem .. a trade in, one
owner, well maintained machine .. which were my requirements ..
about 9-10 years ago.
Boy .. over these years, I realize what a great deal it was and
how very lucky I am ... $600. It came with about 30 feet, more
than I'll probably ever use or learn to use the rest of my life. If I
run into any glitches, I go to the Yahoo groups for them, where
there's a couple of very kind mechanics as well as experienced
Bernina '30' owners. They're a godsend.
It's a forever machine .. I have no interest, never mind the
room, to store all the additional supplies it takes to get into
embroidery, so this is it, and it's AWESOME .. such solid quality
components, engineering and craftsmanship.
With that, my serger and Embellisher .. I'm a very happy camper.
These are the silk drawstring jewelry bags I made for Christmas .. I
made about 10 of them and still making them ... VERY fun to do.
I used the Embellisher to drill the two pieces of silk together at
the top and bottom and to make that puckering ruffle .. then
serged the sides, and added the casing on either side for the
silk ribbon drawstrings to which I knotted beads at the end for
a 'handle.'
