sewing machine
Disaster has struck - with only 2 weeks to go until Mid Century Modern show my trusty Bernina sewing machine has broken down. AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
Cue desparate trips to Frank Nutt and a lot of nervous worrying about when my trusty steed will be back in working order. The power supply has been replaced but it hasn’t solved the problem of it turning itself off without any notice.
It’s very strange - I’ve never had any problems with the machine before. In fact it is exactly that reason that I bought a Bernina instead of a Janome. Bernina’s are just work horses that keep on going.
So until it can be fixed I’m relying on my spare machine - a Brother which is defying its previous status as unreliable and working well. Fingers crossed it stays that way until my Bernina comes back.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Many people have complained about the quality of some of the lower-end models of Bernina, Brother, and Pfaff sewing machines. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re necessarily bad machines, but reflects the fact that some manufacturers make inexpensive models designed for light use which may not live up to the quality standards of their more expensive, standard models.
