Got a nice surprise when using a Bernina minimatic

I love the way you have your room set up with both machines. I have a featherweight that I use for piecing. I use my large Bernina for FMQ and machine appliqué. I think you will enjoy having 2 machines in your sewing room.

I am, I have 2 quite important quilts on the go at the moment, one for a customer and a replacement quilt for me, my one is piecing stage and the customers one is at the FMQ stage so I am finding it very hand to switch from one machine to the other without having to change threads etc. I know it is no big deal but ever little help is greatfully received and I am enjoying using the Bernina for piecing, it is so cute, small and oh so perfect stitches.

IMO you should get it out, oil and play you might get a nice surprise. If you look carefully at the pic I posted you can see that I have a really straight stitch, something that is hard to get since the "swing needle" came in, even my really expensive elna straight stitch has a slight twist, just a tad but I know it's there

Set t hem both up in your sewing space so you can use one for piecing and the other for quilting or other sewing. I know I have several machines in my studio ready to go. My embroidery machine, then I alternate between my FW and Juki. I also have a number of different machines that I can choose for other things too,
