I just realized that I forgot to mention that a new little treat has shown up in my sewing room and I love it!
It's an adorable little Bernina B330, kind of a baby sister to my 830 (also known as Moby Stitch). I love that Berninas have a knee lift (seen on the lower right of the machine) which can raise and lower the presser foot without using hands, and I also love using the heel tap feature of the foot pedal to raise and lower the needle. Soo... for my birthday, Dan got me this little sweetheart.
Now I can sew while embroidering on Moby and its small size will be perfect to take on trips. It doesn't come with the knee lift, but I had Sam install one for me and I'm using the foot pedal from the 830 since it's not needed for embroidery. (The 330 came with a foot pedal, but the heel tap feature only comes on foot pedals for higher end machines. Since I already had one, I didn't need to buy one!)
She stitches like a dream and I've been enjoying getting to know her this week. And yes, I'm thoroughly spoiled.
(I've been wondering what to call her, then realized I called her Moby's baby sister. Then I thought about her being in the corner and of course you know what came to mind next: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." {Name that movie...})
