Oh my! Oh my! Am I spoilt or what?



I was browsing through our local paper today and what did I spy?

Someone selling a Bernina Artista 180 for.....$950!!

I've resisted buying an embroidery machine due to their price, but this was too much of a deal to resist.

The same machine is listed currently on Ebay for $2200!

It's in perfect condition, recently serviced by a service agent with an excellent reputation, with all service records included.



This is my very first attempt at using my snazzy new machine.
Oops I did the colours the wrong way around.
I'm so happy with my new purchase and can see many hours and years of happy sewing to come.

Congratulations......you will get so much joy out of it.
But you will also find a new stash of cottons, stabilizers, embroidery designs and where the heck do you put them...LOL.
I had my D1 Hus machine serviced this week ...$217 but still so worth it to keep it up to date and going sweetly.

LOL, Tracy like you needed another addiction!! Welcome to the Embroidery World. I have more designs than I will ever stitch but they are so cute and don't get me started on in-the-hoop projects.

Evil grin - welcome!
