About 2 weeks ago I found a great pattern for a table runner on the Bernina 830 website. It used the Endless Embroidery feature of the new 830 machine. A week ago I bought my fabric and my thread and today I tried it. It was so easy, I used the jumbo hoop so I was able to duplicate my design, stitch it, then move the fabric in the hoop and easily realign my design thanks to the registration marks the 830 stitches in. I set up the 830, pushed the start stop button and then let it go! As it was stitching happily away, I was on my 440 piecing half square triangles for a Clothesline Club project. One machine is good, but having two is better. One can embroider away while you piece or quilt on the other machine.
This is what my finished project will look like...

Starting tomorrow The Quilt shop will pay the tax on any qualifying Bernina sewing machine purchased Thursday April 16th through Monday April 20th. This just about includes all models which are on display for you to try at the store. Many of the machines have a gift with purcase. If you are thinking about getting a 2nd machine or to move up to a machine with more features, this is the time to do it. Stop in to see us!

Looks like you're enjoying your vacation. I got to visit my favorite quilt store in San Diego today. If you can't find it at Rosie's Calico Cupboard, you're out of luck.
That store is the best! I've ordered from them. What did you get? Anything good?
