Celia’s new machine

Here she is unpacked and ready to go, one day when I have tidied a bit I will show you my tiny sewing room. 

At the moment she sits opposite the HD9 and she is small enough for me to move out of the way when I want to use the table for cutting small items etc.

I decided in the end to go with the small Bernina as I loved my old one so much and only let it go when I bought the 570,  luckily enough I still have extra feet and the fancy foot control for it. I do need to buy some more bobbin though as I completely forgot I would need them.

Off to play with it now

Great choice!!! I was torn between this model and the 475 and I think you’ll both be very happy. 😍

@WildAtlanticWay that was the other one I was looking at in the shop but it was a step too far what I need at the moment. Great machine though.

I was told by one dealer that the 3 series is being discontinued wether it’s true or not I don’t know but they are the only remaining CB hook machines in the range.

Well done Celia and I do hope that this machine works for you and is happy in your sewing room.  Now just enjoy playing with her and I am sure she will do all that you want her to do.

Oh what a sweetie!  3 of my students had these, and loved them (although one of them had the very devil of a job with it, but she would have had a problem with anything!)

Enjoy!  I also heard they weren't going to be around for much longer, shame!
I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well

@Celia enjoy it for many years!  :VV:   Do you give your machines names?  If so, what is the name of this one?
You can't scare me. I taught high school for 32 years.
