Bernie's first few days home fluctuated between pure sewing bliss and extreme frustration trying to figure out all her capabilities--ie. how to thread her and use the automatic needle function. I doubted my worthiness to own such a machine. But I bit the bullet and signed up for a Bernina 8 Series class to learn all her intricacies...and learned A LOT!!!! I was actually surprised to see that many of the functions covered in class I had already explored and figured out on my own...but there was still much to take away from the class. I know now how to open her up to discover a bird's nest of missing threads...of course, just as the instructor walked by to my horror! Fortunately, she wasn't there when I uncovered all the dust bunnies hiding down near the bobbin case...phew! Although, these discoveries reaffirmed my need to take the Care of Bernina 8 Series so I can keep her purring for years to come...
Despite some hiccups last night I do feel more empowered to utilize her many features and functions to enhance my quilting projects...and I don't feel so unworthy of this fine piece of swiss engineering!
Side note: My back/ribs are sore from lugging this beast to and from the classroom! At least I got my workout!!
