wish things made today and sold today had that long a life and great service. If only shops would take a 10 min tutorial on how to keep the machine running great, they would have more loyal and happy customers.

Here, here! I am ready to take a hatchet to my Bernina to get in there! I KNOW I am more than capable to oiling and cleaning myself. It is not computerized, the last model with no computer. It runs like a top, a great machine.

Pam I love the quilt in your avatar. It is really pretty. I can't wait will I am that good.

Thanks, I traced it from a coloring book, no big deal, really. I just buy the prettiest fabric I can find and then take all of the credit for it I can get!

wish that I could get my hands on it to take a close look at it.

I did not like how the face/moon turned out, so I gave it away! I am going to do another, looking for the right fabrics. The silver part of the moon looked like an ironing board cover, but the face came out really pretty, I use colored pencils to do my faces.
