Dueling Berninas

I've added this tip each time I teach improv piecing. If you have more than one machine, set two for sewing. Put one at counter height with the pedal on the floor, for short pieces; and set one at table height for long seaming. Saves your knees and quickens your pace. 
 

Last Shot on the "Roll"

First Friday came with frigid temperatures, poor driving, and a side of caution. I made it in to Studio 301, and with few visitors, managed to get quite a bit finished. This is my stalwart Bernina 1120 from the 80's. I use it on top of the table, standing, to sew the short pieces. Hope it'll last a bit longer.

 

The Return

In (or around) 1988 I was lucky to purchase this Bernina 1120. I brought it to this building and used it a few studios down the hall. It's now returned, albeit a new space. But still going strong. Time keeps a continuous loop.
