This is my first post!!
What brand and model do you have? Bernina 1230
How long have you had it? 20+ years
How much does that machine cost (approximately)? Don't remember. More than $1000.
What types of things do you sew (i.e. quilting, clothing, handbags, home dec projects, etc.)? Quilts, kids clothes, and home dec projects...want to try a bag!
How much do you sew? In spurts...a lot lately.
Do you like/love/hate your machine? I love my machine!
What features does your machine have that work well for you? I love the way it sews perfectly all the time.
Is there anything that drives you nuts about your machine? I wish there was more space for machine quilting.
Do you have a great story to share about your machine? I got a check in the mail from my grandma. She said it was part of my inheritance. She wanted to give it to me early to be sure I actually got it. She was the sewer in our family. She was always encouraging about my sewing. I bought my machine, a cabinet, and a cutting table with the money. It was great and I think she was happy!
Would you recommend the machine to others? Definitely. Why? It sews well every time. No surprises...
Do you have a dream machine? Bernina 820

oooh, Bernina 1230. Can you hear me drooling over the internet. I'm jealous. Welcome to blogging!
My Mom has a machine like this I'm trying to talk her into giving me, its the BEST for free motion quilting. It has way more power than my newer machine! -Allison
Hello fellow Bernina girl! Glad to hear you love your 1230. It's on my wish list.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
I love my Bernina too! I've had 2 Singers. The 1st one my DD still has (it's older than her!), and the 2nd one I sold because it was lousy for quilting. I just wish my Bernie had a bigger bobbin. The 820 sounds like it's a dream!
Welcome to blogland! I'm fairly new too just in the last couple of months. I have a Bernina 135 I think it is. I love it but would love to get a newer one....too much money though....My machine works beautifully and so I'm good really. I love quilting and love blogging.
