I finally upgraded my sewing machine! My old sewing machine was a piece, I got it for my 18th birthday and it is really basic. I'm going to hold onto it for my kids to learn on, but I'm really excited about my new purchase. It's a BERNINA! My mom taught us to sew on her 1130, and I found a great bargain on the step down, the 1120. I love it and am so excited.I also scored an older Bernette by Bernina 234 serger for only $45! What a steal.
