O I know how you feel my husband and I went to the store the other day and he was so disapointed that he could not buy me a new sewing machine that day. He said he would buy me one in July. He is such a great husband, a definet keeper. Please post pics so we can drool over it with you. I bet it feels like you are getting ready for Christmas !!!!!!

has anyone tried the metro embroidery thread?

Oh Happy Day! I bought the same machine a few years ago and paid...well....MUCH more than that! You will love it...I do!

How exciting!

i bought the container of ISACORD at a bernina class . That is the way to go.. Has all colors of thread and i just pick out what i need for the project i am doing. a great deal. love my 440 QE with embroidery module. what a fun time i have.

I too love the isacord. I have used some metalics too, just have to reme
ber to slows down the machine and use the proper needle.

Congrats!!! I have a bernina 165, I love my bernina, I don't have a problem using any thread, personal preference is sulky. Enjoy your new toy!

Annalee, congratulations. My husband bought me an embroidery, computerized Bernina Artista 200 almost 2 years ago. It is a 2004 model. I was totally intimidated for quite a while. I had never sewn on a computerized machine before, let alone embroidery equipped :roll:

After I got over my intimidation I finally started taking lessons at my Bernina dealer. It took a while but info slowly began to stick in my brain, instead of flying through. Now I can do quite a few things that used to be quite foreign to me.

Feel free to pm me if you have specific questions. Can't assure you that I will know the answer but if I do, I would be more than happy to share it with you. Take care. ;) ;)

PS: I recently just bought my first featherweight. I love it. Just simple sewing!

im so happy for you ask him if they can give you some lessons so you can start playing right away ,welcome to the bernina family i have a bernina as well my is bernina 730e artista and i just love her , have fun enjoying yours

congrates on your new toy. God bless. Penny
