Judith...I have a Bernina 820...had a 440QE prior to that ..it was a good machine and I traded for
this one, but as many here know, after lots of venting...it was a bit of a lemon out of the box.
inch:
I had a bad dealer...no longer in business.. and now am 120 miles away and the dealer isn't always
too helpful. It has improved a little lately....when I have a problem it is a major issue..even if it is
a small thing !! It's a love/hate relationship ! When she sews, she is wonderful ! But one little kink!
and Phooey ! :sick: You're stuck ! I do have back-up machines..yes that's plural !
:lol:
As for this quilty...Thank you...I love those old Piecemakers calendar patterns ! Lots of inspiration.

Now I'm curious. What are "old Piecemakers calendar patterns". Sounds interesting.

Marilyn.
I understand. I have a love/hate relationship with my 830. It is very particular about the thread it will sew with. I hate when the thread breaks somewhere I can't see or get to. Can take me 45 minutes to get it out. I love a lot of other things about it.

Marilyn, your quilt is looking great. I really like your fabric choices too. Terrie, we all struggle to choose the right fabrics for our quilts. Sometimes we are lucky, and sometimes not so lucky. If it's any consolation I have had at least 2 attempts at the trees and I still have to figure out what to put in the foreground of the house. But I do have my vines, flowers and leaves ready to go for the next border. The problem has been choosing the fabric for that border. :blink: Some days I spend my whole quilting time just trying different combinations to see what is pleasing to me.

Lois...store.piecemakers.com/piecemakers-calendars Here is a link...their calendars are lovely and the patterns
mostly applique...but infinitely usable. Had a local shop that sold them back in the day. Many collect them...
I only have a few from early yrs. They are an interesting group...google them and you can read of the history...
Costa Mesa religious group/commune from the 60's I think I'll order a new one !
