Hey, You've tackled the hardest part, getting started! Hope it comes home from the "hospital" soon and works great.

I agree you are past the "hard" part ... you took that deep breath and tackled it head on... you conquered your fears :thumbup: Hope the shop gets your baby fixed quickly :lol: And when you go pick her up ask for some guidance before you leave

So, you had to leave it at the dealer. Better than in the closet!!!! For sure! I am thinking you are WAY ahead of the curve. Trust me, you are gonna LOVE that front load bobbin!!!!

What luck! Anyway--- there you go--- my progress --- zero.
:? :?

But your progress is that you approached it, had it diagnosed, and you're getting it fixed.

By this point, you'll be a pro at working it when it's "healthy!"

I know how you feel 'cause I felt the same way when I had my Bernina. Jump in and start playing and it will get easier.

Getting the machine fixed is a pain in the patootey but it explains why you were having so many problems. When it gets home, you'll be able to get going with it!

My reply to the Quilt Cut 2 post is like what you did with your machine. I couldn't get accurate cuts, got frustrated and didn't use it. I finally talked to a vendor and we discovered that my size guide wasn't right. She is sending me a new one. If I hadn't decided to voice my frustration the system would still be unused and a big waste. All this time I thought it was me that was the problem. :? :?

Glad to hear you tackled it and found out IT had the problem. I took a class on a Gammil long arm last week and it has the front load bobbin. It's such an advantage. I bet you'll find the same on your new Bernina. Have lots and lots of fun!!

PS ~ How about naming her April?

You got a great machine. I have the 630 with BSR and Embroidery. I did not touch the Embroidery stuff for about a year until I could get a class and learn how to use it. Come to think of it, I waited on the BSR until I could take a class too.

I like the front load bobbin, you can change it out with a quilt on the top of the machine, and it's easier to pop out.

Momwood, I understand your frustration. I also bought a new Bernina 440 and have been struggling with it. I took a couple of simple classes and I am not having much luck with all the features. Everyone tells me that It will come just keep playing with it. I would love to have the information for the Yahoo bernina group. Thanks, Karole
