My New Toy

This is Miss Bit, writing - to tell you about the box that came today... 

Look, it has a red handle...

 Oh, fun, fun - all this lovely bubble wrap to play in - POP, POP !!!!  It's the Fourth of July Fireworks!!

HMMMM - does it have a secret entrance???  We will slide it and see...

 Oh, look - the case folds out... 

 and then the case comes completely off - and has all these fun feet and bobbins!!

And TA DA - here's the machine !!!!

 

That funny red thing is the foot pedal.  

 



 

 

But , best of all.....

 

is THE BOX !!!!

 

 

 

from the "Quilting Professor" - - well, it seems Miss Kitty Bit has introduced you to my new toy - Bernina 900 machines were manufactured in the early 1980s, and only a modest number were made.  They are basic machines, meant to carry to class or to your summer cottage...  they sew beautifully and are known as little workhorses that last forever... I am so tickled to find one with all the original parts and stuff... feet, bobbins, case, it's just fabulous...

 

 

and most fun of all...

 

the original owner... 

the original instruction book - Julie went through each page, trying each foot, learning each technique, and making careful notes....



 

Well, I tried to search the web for Julie, but I really can't find anything, so who knows what happened to her - but, Julie, I have your baby now, and I will take good care of her...
