Hello

I'm English, but live in Switzerland. Very pleased to have found this forum - I haven't been sewing very long and I've just acquired a vintage Bernina, so sure to need all your advice.

Welcome. I also have an old Bernina. Today it sailed through a PAT test at sewing club. I intended to use it to take there instead of my big Pfaff but when I picked up both of them together I realised it's just as heavy!

Thanks for the welcome!

Looking forward to using the Bernina, but good grief it's heavy - the postman lugged it up two flights of steps and looked on the point of collapse at the top.
