Not a bear making one though :crackup:

No, several months ago I achieved my "ambition" of buying a brand new Bernina - the only trouble is I look at it but am too terrified to use it and messing it all up.

So I have booked onto a "Get to know your sewing machine" course were I can build up a bit of confidence - especially as in early August I will be doing a Summer School on Patchwork and Quilting and I want to use it.

Have fun on the course 

My wee machine's getting a real workout at the moment, so I got it an overlocker to keep it company

Good for you Karon, it is always good to know how to use the machine you have properly.  Sewing is wonderful, I love to sew and do not do enough of it.
Enjoy the course and give us all some feedback.

Well, I went on the course and although it wasn't  completely what I had hoped for, I now feel I have the confidence needed to go ahead onto the Patchwork and Quilting which I am going on at the end of July.

There was one woman who was worse than me  - she had an Elna that had laid in its box for over two years and was getting its first outing :crackup: at least mine hadn't made the one year mark (5th September).

It is a remarkably easy machine actually.

Thats brilliant Karon.  I expect great things from you and your patchwork/quilting course now - how about a fall length bed throw  :crackup:
