Merry Christmas To Me!

This year when I was asked what I wanted for Christmas I asked for money. I knew it was too much to ask for someone to buy me the new serger I wanted, so I started saving months ago. This is also why I have been working extra hours with the Health Department this winter. I had been slowly putting cash away in my envelope. With my savings, Christmas money I received and trading in my old serger, on Monday I was able to go in and get this lovely new machine! It sews like a dream and I am eager to learn what all I can do with it. My old serger, a Janome 9102D, served it's purpose as giving me a serger to get started on and learn how to use a serger. However, it was a nightmare threading the lower looper and at times I would waste hours on it. When I read reviews on this Bernina 1150 mda they were excellent. Then the local dealer showed me some of the features on this machine and I was convinced it was the machine for me. It has an automatic threader and a micro-thread control adjustment to adjust the stitches like a dream. It also sounds beautiful when you are sewing. I am looking forward to the new year sewing many projects on my new machine!
