Hi All,

I just wanted to share my news....!

I have been waiting to see what the new Bernina 500's would be like as I was thinking of buying one. Anyway, today we went to the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham and off I went to the Bernina stand.

Only real difference I could see and the sales person could tell me about in the new machines is a slightly improved screen, different lighting and on the 580 a 9mm stitch length and a thread cutter.

Also the stitch regulator is only stardard with the 550,

Whilst the new 500's are okay, you just seemed to get a lot more for your money from the 630........ so I bought one!!!!!!

I have the most wonderful husband there is..... I really don't NEED another machine but I so wanted a Bernina with a stitch regulator so he said get it!

My new Baby will join my other machines (Singer 66 Treadle, Jamone 4900QC, Janome Horizon and Brother 4000D) on Friday.

I guess after this one arrives I won't be able to go down the new machine route for a little while!

Oh I am so excited I can't wait until she arrives!

Hugs and thanks for listening!

Congrats.

Hooray for you!

You have a great stable of machines. Have fun sewing!!!

Congratulations! Isn't it fun to get a new machine?

Congratulations!

Happy for you. Its so fun to get new toys! Enjoy!

Thanks Guys,

I am so excited... I know that on Friday I will be looking out the windows every few minutes waiting for her to be delivered!

Hugs

Huge congrats! I've heard nothing but raves from 630/635 owners. I'm a multiple-machine gal myself, and recent Bernina convert/fanatic. Enjoy your new treasure!

YAY for you!! Aren't awesome hubbies great to have??!!! I wouldn't trade mine...although I did just tell him my "addiction" to buying all things quilting is his fault...because he never gripes about it... :-)... He did not exactly agree with that, however...Have fun with your new machine, and let us know how it sews...

So happy for you! Enjoy your new "baby"!

sooooooo,sewwwwww, great about multiple machines having each one set up to do a part. FMQ, another with walking foot, one straight needle for beautiful piecing, a serger in the corner waiting it's turn and the ironing board with big board and a freshly cleaned iron. The Sewing Room Dance.

oh you will like it. i retired from the post office on june 30 and i got paid for all my annual leave i had left. i was going to get a 630 bernia but they had the 640 on sale at the same price so i bought that. i havent had much time to play with it. i have a big yard and lots of flowers. but what i have done i really like mine. congratulation to you. have fun

Congratulations.

I have a question - so the other two Janomes and your Brother don't have a stitch regulator? I need to know this as I am getting ready to purchase a new machine and want a stitch regulator for FMQ, thanks and congrats.
