Ooh magpie be very careful using Singer needles in a Bernina. When I got mine my dealer warned me specifically about Singer needles. Something about their shape or maybe it was their length and how the hook on the bobbin race interacts with them. She said Singer's were the only ones, but would end up damaging the hook on the bobbin race. I think it takes a while though, so you should be ok, but yes stock up on those Schmitz needles! You can get them on line and if you have a JoAnn's nearby they carry them too.

BTW your quilt and eagle wall hanging are very nice. I think you will have a very happy boy getting those.
