    I have a Bernina -- I've had it for 20 years. Needless to say it's not "electronic", but it still sews as well now as it did 20 years ago. Never needed repairs. If I'm going to spend a lot of...

    I love this! I've not named my machines, but maybe I'll give it a try. I've got a Bernina 1030 that I've had for nearly 20 years, and she's sewn everything from quilt tops, leather, jeans, knits...

    I just did a set of 16 using the pinless method. I found that I needed to finger press the centers, just to keep me on track. You are all correct, this is not a block that can be sewn fast, but I...

    Curved Seams

    I'm working on a Drunkard's Path quilt block, and trying very hard to do the piecing on my sewing machine. It is challenging, and I wonder if anyone has any tips or tricks to make it easier.
