The Bernina came out of her box today.
Is it wrong to treat my new sewing machine like a dangerous predator? Is my machine a grizzly or a black bear.. should I make noise or curl into a fetal position? I find myself carefully making eye contact, firm but without challenge..
I can do this. I really can.
It took me thirty minutes to thread the machine, twenty of those minutes were spent figuring out how the heck the auto needle threader worked. Really? I can't thread my own needle? What happens if I don't use it? Does the onboard computer record all my mistakes? Will the machine tattle on me?
