After we had been married for 3 months, my husband bought me a used Singer sewing machine for my birthday.
Last week, my hubs noticed that if you "test drive" a new Bernina, you can enter to win a BMW. He thought it was worth checking it out. We arrived at the Bernina store on Saturday with not only a desire to check out a new sewing machine, but get that chance to win a new car!
After the saleslady showed us all the features of the machine, I sewed on it. It did straight stitiching, zig-zag, fun and fancy stitches and I tried out all the electronic features. It was awesome, however, I realized that the only thing the new machine had that mine doesn't have is a bobbin case cover! (OK, that's an exaggeration)
We walked away from the store without a new sewing machine but with our names put in for a car! If we get lucky, I may just buy the machine!
Connie I also have a really old machine but it still works great.
ReplyDeleteI think a new Bernina would be fab though! I love all the cool computer stuff on it! I hope you not only win the car but get a new Bernina...or at least a bobbin cover!! :)
I don't even know how to use a sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteI love my old Singer, but have to admit that Bernia looks pretty snazzy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the drawing for the car, and I think if you win you definitely should get the Bernia.
It sounds like a good investment for you! Go purchase a new one. I said it's okay. However, not the same for me. If I need something that needs sewing/mending, I ask the husband to do it. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how they have improved those machines over the years.
ReplyDeletebut the mere thought of a needle and thread has me hyperventilating!!
You make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI am gonna pray that you win the BMV. Is that bad?
You deserve it.
Tauna, if I win the BMW because of your prayers, I'll send you a list of prayer-worthy items!
ReplyDeleteBerninas are only like the BEST sewing machine IN THE WORLD!!!!! I can't stand Singers after using a Bernina. I LOVE BERNINAS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a good feeling about this. You are getting both the sewing machine and the car.
ReplyDeleteI still don't know what a bobbin case cover is.
I am seriously going to send all my positive thoughts your way. A good diversion would suit me just fine right now.
ReplyDeleteThats what I have too, love it! It's the first machine I have ever had, loved the lessons they gave too. Lets hope he gets that new car too!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes BMW stand for Bernina Motor Works?
ReplyDeleteI'd like a new machine, one that does all those cool stitches. HEck, I'll take your old model after you buy your new one! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love to sew too. I learned on my Grandmother's machine that had a wheel on the right side that you have to hand turn to make the needle go up and down. I still have that machine.
ReplyDeleteHope you win the Beemer.
Anyone that is capable of making ruffles and button holes on a sewing machine deserves a new BMW!
ReplyDeleteMy grandma taught me on several occasions how to sew...but I still really don't know how. I hope she's not disappointed up on heaven when she sees how domestic I'm not.
Crossing my fingers for you for the BMW.
ReplyDeleteMake a top for that thing with a little masking tape, sticky side to sticky side with the top a little longer to tape to the top of your machine. Can you picture that?
Dad... anything for the chance to win something new - even signing up on Facebook for a bag of Snickers. :) Hope you win that car! Should wouldn't mind going for a ride.
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! You always make me smile!! I'm hoping you win the BMW and buy the sewing machine!!
ReplyDeleteMan, I bet that thing made some killer Halloween costumes over the years! I always loved my parents for working together on great costumes for us. My dad would help come up with the ideas and my mom would sew them. One year it was her own version of wonder woman underoos! Matching ones for me and my sister. That was awesome! Hope you win the car!
ReplyDeleteWell I'll cross my fingers for you both!!
ReplyDeleteI think a new machine would be fantastic.....especially considering that you might have to make a custom steering wheel cover for the BMW :)
you can have mine! Your sewing machine's a witch.
ReplyDeleteoohhhh I'll keep all my fingers and toes crossed that you win!! Wouldn't that be SWEEEET???
ReplyDeleteits been FOREVER since i took my sewing machine out of the closet. i really need to do that...you have inspired me to get creative!
ReplyDeleteIf your hubby wins that car.... wait.... WHEN your hubby wins that car, he will definitely have to buy you a new bobbin cover!!!
ReplyDeleteConnie your going to be one HOT mamma in that new car!! Good Luck too you!! And hey you deserve that new machine:)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on that winning a car thing! I think Andy's about due, isn't he? :)
ReplyDeleteI need a new sewing machine...just something very basic...My machine needs to go to the sewing machine graveyard.
My hubby bought me my first sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteHope you win the new car!
