“I wouldn’t be talked into buying any old sewing machine!”

I thought I’d share some advertisements from an old magazine I have… The magazine is Pins and Needles.

I thought these add were great – I also use a Bernina Record, so I just had to smile.

You can see other scans over on my blog, I didn’t want to overload you all with heaps of high res images!

Here’s my little baby.

It’s due for a proper service, though, so I’m considering dropping it off at the sewing machine shop before the vacation.

I have a Bernina too! It’s the 860 model and boy, oh boy do I ever love that machine. Bernina’s are awesome and your one is quite lovely.
