I celebrated my birthday in December, and my parents told me I could get a new sewing machine. My Aunt has a super nice and very nifty Bernina, so she took me to the little shop where she bought it to choose mine.
Here she is!
It's a Bernina B 530 Special Swiss Red Edition…It has so many more bells and whistles than my old machine could ever dream of having. It will make buttonholes all the same size automatically, which is awesome. It has a knee bar so I can raise and lower the presser foot without reaching around to the back of the machine. I can choose whether I want the needle to stay up or down when I stop stitching, and the pedal has a feature where I can raise and lower the needle by pressing down with my heel. And it has all sorts of fancy stitches! As part of the deal with the Special Edition, I got a very nice rolling case to put it in too. It also comes with a little cabinet sort of thing for the bobbins and feet and other accessories. So far, I love it very much!
