Sewing Machine Bonding

 Many people bond with their pets,

bond with their families,

bond  their friends.

I am bonding with my sewing machine.

It was recently updated and partially serviced, 

and we sewed happily together for one whole afternoon.

A needle broke and that was it.

The screen showed a big red X and 

a needle bearing down on on the presser foot!

I collected both portions of the needle and decided to call it

the end of the sewing day.

Then off to retreat,

accompanied by my little featherweight,

for a delightful trio stitching days.

This project UFO  was gifted to me and I finished it up. 

There's even enough scrappy goodness left 

to make another top or two baby quilts.

Influenza and I became good friends the day after retreat,

and although I asked the Bernina community for help,

I didn't check messages until well after a week.

Following their sage wisdom, 

I was able to get Big B back up and running.

It did take me awhile to find the proper keys and settings though.

Sometimes instruction manuals and 

videos are not made for the true beginner.

I am very new to Bernina machines and 

had no idea where to find the settings I needed.

Surprisingly the symbol is a yield sign with a big red "! ".

Then the process was easy and the machine sewed smoothly!  

More in touch with my machine and a bit more confident, 

my next sewing session should be productive. 

Look at all these tops just waiting for a date with Big B!

Stay Safe and Sew On!
