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.
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!
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.
I love free motion quilting. I draw shapes. Whatever shapes happen to develop while Im quilting. Ive been quilting for about 11 years. Truthfully, I find that I make the same shapes over and over. Lots of curvy circles, mixed in with sharp edges. I also like to echo the shapes into each other.
