Yesterday I went and picked up my birthday present, a few days early:
Pennington Quilt Works was having a sale on their floor model and trade-in machines, and this Bernina QE440 was in perfect shape and super cheap (for a Bernina). I went and picked it up yesterday, and I’m in love with it. Getting this machine means no Creative Estates in April and no ALA conference in June, but it’s worth it to me. It really is such a great piece of engineering, and I finally get to work on a full size machine.
