I treated myself to a new Bernina like the one you purchased and have never regretted it. It’s so much fun to see everything it can do and I am still finding new things. Enjoy the machine!

Oh, yes!

Keep anything MAGNETIC totally away from your machine.
Diane
Amy, that’s what the store owner told me when I bought mine. Good advice.
Amy
You may have already done this with your old machine but I would recommend plugging the new machine into a surge protector, basically like a computer. I always unplug mine when I’m not sewing just so a power surge does fry the mother board (just like a computer) but a surge protector made for electronics is worth the investment I think!

Was thinking of replacing my current 440 Bernina with the 740. Am anxious to hear your feedback on the 740 as I respect your sewing expertise.
Thinking I like the larger throat space, the dual feed, and the self thread tension featured on the 740. I frequently have tension problems when machine quilting with poly thread using the BSR on my 440.
From what I read this machine sounds fantastic.
Thanks – Terry
Cindie
What a beauty!!!! Jealous….
Carol
She’s a beauty! I wonder how quilts you will be churning out now with that high powered beauty!
Susie Fiorito

I use a 35 yr old Singer for my piecing. Thought about getting a new machine for Christmas last December. Husband was ready to purchase for me, but i really don’t know if I need a different machine. Mary, could you devote a blog to why you chose the Bernina and what you can do with this machine? Anyone, really, could respond.
Linda
Congratulations, let us know how much you are loving it.
Karen
May your new Bernina 740 bring you many happy hours of sewing and quilting in the years ahead.
Joanne
WOW! AWesome.
Ann Barlament
wow…like that wide throat plate!!
Tammy Guerrero
Lovely machine! I have a old machine. Do I need to mortgage my house to buy one of those? Just wondering?
Sharon Hultgren
Yes! 😊 The added sewing and quilting area is beyond compare!!
Carolyn
I purchased a Bernina 440 QE when I retired in 2008. It has been the best machine I have ever had! Someone could have my husband, but never my Bernina. Congratulations! I know you and Connie will have a blast.
Marilyn
Hooray for you sew happy for you😂😂😂
Launa
SEW happy to see your B 740 “out of the box” and ready for a test drive, Mary! Lots if quilting stitches to play and test out….enjoy your new Bernina.
Connie
When retire last year got Bernina 750. I LOVE it.
Sharon Hultgren
You will love it!!! Lots to learn, but even the “basics” are wonderful!!
I LOVE mine!!! So happy for both of you!! Well deserved!!!
Becky from IA

Kathy Hanson
Congratulations – Bernina is the best!!
Michelle King
WOW!! You are going to love it!! I have just bought the Little Red Bernina! I just have to find the time to use it more!!!
Tanya Quilts in CO
What an amazing retirement splurge! I am sure you will put it to amazing use immediately.

SHE SURE IS A PRETTY THING. Is there such a thing as sewing machine envy? You certainly have earned the right to owning her. You have paid yur dues. Glad you are boarding dogs again. I am sure that their owners are glad as well. Moving on is a personal thing, no time line and no way around it. BUT just glad you are taking care of those who’s owners will be comforted knowing their fur babies are getting the best personal care available. By the way, do you board husbands? AND if so will you pick them up at the airport. If not I can drop him off we only live in Baltimore.
Nancy Pleimann
Great !!! Let us know what you like about it. Not that I need a new machine. But sometimes it’s just nice to upgrade. Nancy P.
Diane
PS I know Rick is handy. If you have the Horn cabinet fit for another machine, Rick can probably “shore it up” to hold the extra weight. That’s what my husband did and it’s fine. I just don’t put it up and down which I never did anyway. Good luck.
Diane
You deserve it and you will love it. I splurged on the 750 for my retirement and have not regretted it!! It does purr like a kitten. Can’t wait to see all of the projects you produce. Enjoy:)
Somewhat jealous. You really do deserve it. ENJOY!!!!!
MartyCae
A new sewing machine! Always a welcome sight. Your furry friends will all want to check it out. Every time I sat down to sew my cat was right there helping me. I don’t care where she was, when I sat down she was there!
Another really fun thing to do is get in the sack of brand new fabric and get white cat hair all over everything.
Happy sewing to you!
Mary Lou
WOW! And what can this beauty do?
Chris
Lucky duck! Enjoy!
Pat
You are going to LOVE that machine…. Enjoy….
Carolyn
Congratulations, you certainly deserve the new machine, enjoy, can’t wait to see all the new projects you will be creating!
Diane Emanuelson
Very very nice. Does it purr like a kitten!
