    Hours on a Bernina Sewing Machine

    Does anyone know how to find out how many hours are on a Bernina 440QE? I know how to find the total number of stitches, but not the hours. Is there a way?

    The first name that popped into my head was Hopscotch. Then, noticing the dots, I came up with Dots and Dashes.

    The one time I used a panel, the pattern was border after border around the center panel--17 borders in all. Two were pieced. I guess you would call it Around the World style.

    Same here. My quilts are built to be used, and they are washable. It's a good idea to shrink your batting however. My king size quilt shrunk substantially the first time I washed it. Bummer.

    There are some excellent videos on YouTube, and I swear by the add-a-quarter ruler. You can certainly get by without it, but I think it's a big help.
