Video review Bernina 530 ...
I bought a Bernina 530 .. its a really nice machine, but the bed and lack of an auto thread cutter was a deal breaker for me. I decided to sell the machine.

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend. So much fun. I was out shopping and saw this hilarious pic! Mirror images are not who we are! I am the person I see reflected in the faces of people who love me. Although ... I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.
Smarter by Pfaff c1100 pro review
I wanted to add some thing to my review of the c-1100 pro. I still like the machine. But, there is something going on with the low bobbin light. It is coming on all the time. Its at the shop to get fixed as I type. I see that some of the Singer l-500's have had the same problem. And, some other Pfaff owners have had issues with the sensor going off at odd times. Also, I messed the timing up. I used the quilting foot with a straight stitch needle hole and accidentally put the machine on a zig-zag.

I guess its just a rocky start, its been in the shop twice in the three months Ive had it. Once was my fault, though - I should get over that. But, Im having a hard time. There are two other things that are bothersome about the machine. They are hard to explain in words. One ...
Great review. You should have waited until September for Bernina to release their new 750 series with the 13" harp. I am totally upgrading from a Janome 6600 to the 750 with embroidery capabilities and the BSR. Also, all three models have the 9mm stitch width and thread cutter. From what I heard, Bernina took all the features of their 500 and 800 series and combined the ones that people asked for the most into the 700 series. I am so excited about getting mine by the end of the year. FYI...fellow gay male quilter here!
