Doc

So, the diva was to the sewing machine doctor today...hopefully she's better now.

Wish me luck!!

Friend or foe...

Bernina 820 and I

It's something between hate and love, at the moment my feelings of hate are definitely stronger and I could kick her for being such a diva. There's always something about this machine, right now we are having tension problems again!!

Bernina's intentions when planning this machine were probably the best but to me she's not running as smoothly as she should for a baby in that price range. I spend more time fixing problems and trying different tensions, threads, needles in order to get a nice result than finally quilting - which was the motivation to buy her. As I'm always questioning me first, I thought it was my fault, that I was treating her bad and therefor she was grumbling and we were having quite an ambivalent relationship. But after a couple hours of internet research it seems like I'm not alone...there are more out there having trouble with this species. perhaps we should found a group like 820s Anonymous...would you be a member? Let me know!!

Hope you're having a nice day and I'll go and give the diva another try...never give up ;-)!!

Hi folks

Welcome to my brandnew blog, so excited to meet you all here. 

I was hesitating about making a blog for so long...do I really have a lot of interesting things to tell, will anyone be willing to read what I have to say? Yeah, I know, a little more selfconfidence you will suggest and you know what...you're right :-)!! Let's just do it, there are so many blogs in the net and everyone's free to subscribe or not.
So...if you think it might be worth trying come visit me.

I'm not so sure yet what will be the content of this blog...probably a big part will consist of patchwork and quilting, funny kids' stuff, my point of view on different things, cooking, books, TV, travelling,....just don't wanna be too restrictive in the choice of my topics here. Variety makes life interesting, doesn't it ;-)??
