Good morning Imi, oh yes I remember our attempts to sort of copy my cover for the Bernina Artista 200 and make it suitable for the original Elvis – it sort of never materialised. Your attempts are super, well done hope Elvistoo enjoys his new clothes, all beautifully quilted as well.
I have been searching and searching for the photos I took and sent to Imi all afternoon, My Bernina covers are in three parts, and are made of a very sturdy fabric with what looks and feels like wired piping. The main machine part is sort of cut away at the free arm part and has one half of an open end zip sewn on, and this part also has a very shallow strip that again has half a zip attached so when joined on to the body it totally covers the main machine only. The third part of the cover is much smaller, wider and flatter and also has half of an open end zip sewn on. So when the embroidery attachment is actually attached to the main machine you can still use the main cover, but unzip the small strip first, so the cover really only comes down to the free arm part, then join the cover for the embroidery unit and just zip them together.
So back to the photos, I know the first ones I took of this cover are somewhere on my laptop but finding them was a problem, so I charged up the camera and found them on there. Having typed out my reply I then tried to attach the photos and something went horribly wrong, and I lost my message and got a fatal warning page instead.
So with Imi’s help I am hoping that today I can actually attach these.
I know that Twopence has gone to a lot of trouble to sort out on a Windows 10 laptop how I can download my photos, but due to the lockdown we haven’t been able to see one another, and when we do it won’t be 2mtrs. apart as I need to be closer to be able to see and understand what to do. Oh it was so much easier when I had a lesser windows and also a Photo programme. Whilst I still have the disc with the photo programme on it I have no doubt that it is not sophisticated enough for Windows 10 and that is what causes the problems. Do we really have to go buying everything new again with the very latest versions every time we change to a different Windows system. I know for example I cannot use my expensive Bernina Embroidery programme on Windows 10, so I have an old laptop tucked away that still has XP on it, or failing that I will nab my husband’s laptop which is V.7 and has been kept that way as this is the last one that will accept the Bernina Programme.
