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.
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!
