Sewing Machines

Sewing is very much a part of my life. My mother has sewn nearly every day of her adult life. I have spent countless hours looking through pattern books since my teenage years. It is what I do when there is nothing else to do. I have come to realize that sewing is both art and craft and I want to develop the craft so that I can pass it on to my own daughters. For the first half of my life I used only an Elna Supermatic; the machine my mother still uses today. The last 25 years, I have used my own Bernina 830 Electronic. Those are the only machines I know and and ever need to know. Each of my three daughters now has their own Bernina 830 and so the the legacy continues.
