Happiness in a box

Yesterday we took home a big box full of happiness! I became the proud and very happy owner of my first sewing machine; a Bernina 430.
That’s like your first car being a BMW! It’s just as daunting though, I don’t want to damage the machine, and there are so many luxury options. Many many hearts & thanks to the best hubby ! ?

The machine comes with 12 hours of (introductory) classes and the first one is tomorrow morning!

Pumpkin is all too familiar with the term ‘happiness in a box’! :)

While informing myself about sewing machines for several weeks, I became a member of the American Sewing Guild (ASG). They offer local Neighborhood Groups and discount with craft stores.

And to top all of that, during Xmas the embroidery module & software will be awaiting me in the Netherlands. So excited about that as well! Many, many thanks to my most generous aunt! :))Yesterday we took home a big box full of happiness! I became the proud and very happy owner of my first sewing machine; a Bernina 430.

      My grandma has the same machine and I read a lot of good things about it on the internet, including your ‘Cannot live without’! It’s good to hear 2 people I’m looking up to love the machine! Your work is amazing! :)

    It looks very professional! How was your first class?

      They’re arguably the best non-commercial sewing machines :) The first class was great, this machine can do much more than I expected/thought! It’s like an extremely advanced computer :). Looking forward to the next class, next Monday!
