Not new but new to posting.
 

HI, guess I am a little shy, been reading QB almost every day for about a year and finally decided to join in.. I am a Mom, Wife and Grandma to 6. I live in Hudsonville MI. I love to quilt and just totally got into it a couple of years ago. I just got a spanking new Bernina 710 and love it. Not too sure it loves me back that much for now. I have had two demonstrations and one class so far. I still am having trouble understanding it, but I will keep taking lessons and plugging away. I am a self taught quilter and computer operator so I don't think a sewing machine is going to get the best of me. I want to be able to take advantage of every thing it has to offer. Any one out there who has the 710 and finding it hard to figure out? I do need some encouragement, I am a little embarrassed. :o I will continue to read about all you wonderful gals, your input and photos of your beautiful quilts. Someday I may just post a pic. of one of mine. Yours are all so beautiful. Well, thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hi and welcome from NE Ohio, glad to meet you.

Thanks to every one who has welcomed me, it means a lot. I am so going to enjoy this. :-)

Welcome from the Adirondack Mtns of northern NY state. Glad you decided to post. I got a Bernina a couple years ago and love it. Mine is just the basic model. They assured me it had same motor as more expensive ones and all I do is straight stitching so this is perfect. If you stick with it, you will get it.

Welcome from Oklahoma! You'll fit right in here!

Hi and Welcome to the board! It's been a few weeks since your post, so how are you liking your machine now? Is it liking you any better? I have been drooling over the 710' s at my dealer's, but I have only owned mechanical machines and wonder if this would be too big a step for me. I love the throat space on the machine and since my Fmq is terrible, I think I would get good use of the bsr. Wishing you the best with your beautiful new machine!
