Wooo hooo. Look what arrived for me, all the way from Tasmania yesterday. My very own Bernina! I've been wishing, googling, hinting and saving for a long long time.
It's okay. I know it's not the top of the line, but its a huge step up for me. My old machine was not coping with pins and going off on a slant at the end of rows. Lots of frustration and three kids are now very talented unpickers ... I want a workhorse of a sewing machine and I hope this is it. 264 1 inch squares today and I haven't even got past straight stitch.

looking good Rachel - you will have to do a sewing machine report - I am looking at another one - and the Bernina seems to be the one to get. Your squares look great too.
Yippee! You're the third blog I've read this week with a new sewing machine...2 Bernina, 1 Janome. :o) Have fun.
How fab! There's nothing like a new sewing machine is there? Have fun! Lucy x
Isn't it fun when you see it arrive at your door, I'm the 1 with the new Janome Stephanie mentioned. Enjoy your new baby, and hopefully this will mean your kids can forget about unpicking....
Congratulations, it's a beauty. I've had my Bernina for almost 20 years and it still feels like new.
I am very extremely completely utterly jealous. I have a very basic machine, and one day aspire to Bernina ownership. Have fun with her! x
Congratulations to your new friend! I think you will be really happy with.
I've got my new bernina 440 since decemberlast year and the only one thing what I'm missing is the thread cutter.
I too am considering the purchase of a Bernina....but really really want the one with the Stitch Regulator...so I need to save hard....be interested to hear your updates on how you like it.
Congrats, so exciting!!!!! (Visiting from Spring Swap)

So glad it arrived in one piece. There will be no stopping you now Rachel!
Can't wait to see what you are creating from those 1" squares!
Very posh rachel- Can't wait till our next get-together....maybe the holidays?
Enjoy your new machine!! Your one inch squares look interesting ... can't wait to see what they become.
Enjoy your new machine Rachael. I'm sure you will be giving it a good work out.
