Getting to know you, getting to know all about you....

Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me.... Okay okay, enough of the showtunes, but seriously- I am falling in love with my Bernina 750QI.  This machine has been so much fun to play with- and so darn fancy with so many features that I find myself being a bit overwhelmed by it all if I don't stop and try just one new thing at a time.  So I decided to see how it quilted without trying the stitch regulator yet- just regular free motion quilting.  I wanted to see if it felt at all like my Activa 210 that I have grown so accustomed to in the past 5 years.  I was pleased as punch to find that the feeling of quilting was just about the same (just a lot more space and the new machine is sooo much smoother and faster) - which made me instantly comfortable and at ease.  I really have enjoyed quilting this little block I made up a while back- just for fun.  I am not done yet, just enjoying a little bit at a time, enjoying doing something familiar on this very new and unfamiliar machine.  Enjoying getting to know her slowly and at a pace that feels right.  Can't wait to see how the stitch regulator feels now.  That will be my next try.  Stay tuned!

  1. PRETTY! I LOVE YOUR PEBBLES. I AM GLAD IT IS STILL FUN. I HOPE YOU NEVER HIT A DAY WHEN IT IS NOT FUN ANYMORE.

  2. Some day I hope to be able to quilt pebbles. What am I talking about? I have never done anything besides straight line quilting!
