I bought a new sewing machine but
still haven’t used it or told anyone. Got it over a week ago. I got it out of the box and setup on a table next to my sewing cabinet. Am reading the manual, finding things but still using my 440QE. I think it’s because of all the hardship caused by the virus and I live between Midland and Sanford Michigan, and two dams were breached causing massive damage. It looks like a tidal wave went through. Light poles snapped off several feet up, building moved off foundations and some just smashed. In our family, only my youngest son and wife have been affected, we are so lucky. They live by one of the dams but it’s high so their house is fine, no power yet.
Anyway, I bought a Bernina 590. Have been looking at the newer Berninas for a couple of years. Wanted the better lighting, bigger bobbins, etc. At first only the 700 and 800 machines had what I wanted but didn’t need a sewing machine that big and didn’t want to spend that much money. I have a longarm. Was happy when they 500’s came out with everything I wanted. What pushed me finally was the sale Bernina is having. DH and I picked it up last weekend at the shop by the cottage – curbside service. It’s where I bought my longarm, taken classes, etc. Only stayed at the cottage for 24 hours and are staying home now even though we can go to second homes up north. Anyway, I’m sure at some point I’ll start using and enjoy it.
