I still can't believe it! My mother-in-law is an antique broker and ran across this sewing machine at an estate sale. The guy said it needed a part, but otherwise it ran fine. I did some research on the internet and it is a Bernina 830 Electronic, a great machine that people really seem to seek out and the only thing that ever went wrong with them was the foot pedal. So I took it over to the people at Atlanta Sewing and they fixed it and it runs like a champ! My mother-in-law rocks!
I haven't posted any pictures in a while because I've been doing pattern alterations on pants pattern Simplicity 2700. I made up a pair of the pants in denim, but I was hemming them and got the bright idea that I could create a level hem by tearing the f
abric. I suppose that still would have worked if the back of the pants hadn't been off grain. My tear spiraled up the back leg way past the hem line.
So now I'm on to Simplicity 2594. I have some great fabric from Britex Fabrics that I got on a business trip several years ago and I need a simple pattern to dress it up. In fact, I'm going to sign off now and start looking into that. Happy sewing!

Congratulations on your find. That will be a wonderful machine. I still have my 930, which was the TOL model right after this one.
Hi Everybody,
If you are a Bernina software user you get a wonderful opportunity to learn new things about Bernina software with some like minded people on a conference that is scheduled from July 25th, 2010. Please visit this url for more details http://itac20.co.za/?page_id=50.
