WE HAVE A WINNER!
Thank you all for your fun comments and good wishes. I drew the winning name in a most scientific way. I put the names on crummy pieces of paper and threw them in a bowl with a little chip on the side of the bowl. (that was complimentary). I closed my eyes and stuck my hand in the bowl and grabbed a name!
(The other hand was holding a cuppa coffee)

Comeon down Anne and claim your loot. You said you would be jealous if I got this machine. Don't be jealous come to my house and you can sew on it. Email me and give me your snail mail address!
What has Anne won? lucky girl!!!
She won a copy of Miz Carrie Nelson's ( BTW she is a very nice person, just so ya know) second book Another Bite of Schnibles
A magic wand from my friend Deb Tucker..so you can measure and mark those 1/4" seams. (No you cannot turn a frog into a prince with the magic wand!) I love my wand.
A small Silver Thimble Quilt Co. notions bag. That one in the photo is mine,you will get a new empty one.
A little stack of scrappy fabrics from my stash (great for applique!) It's a mish mosh of goodies!
So now that the drama of the winning name has been completed (I'm tellin you this is stressful. I want everyone to win!) What did Pat get from Santa?
Oh Yes she did! (The new 7 series machine too!)
I really put a lot of time and research into this decision I read a lot and the comments people sent me were fabulously helpful. Bottom line WE ALL have amazing machines to choose from on the market. I think there are other machines that are just as great, oh yes there are! Finding the machine that best fits our needs is a process. Obviously, I'm not the person that buys the first thing I see, so with that being said, I think I found the best machine for ME. The dividing line and what finally pushed me toward this machine is my beloved 18 year old 1090S Bernina. That machine has never skipped a stitch or been into the store for a problem. Not once in 18 years (and I run my machine more than your average quilter...it is pedal to the metal around here!) She goes to the "Spa" for a cleaning and relaxation once a year and that is it. So that is what drove me to Bernina. Reliablity and trust from the past 18 years.
The down side of this! You won't believe the havoc I have done to my sewing room getting it ready to move the new baby in the room. I'll take some photos. OH MY!
Tomorrow I'll be posting about my first Stitch Along. yippee!

Can't wait to hear more about it.... And you must have found a dealer you like!
I also have an 18 year old 1090. I will NOT give it up, but I HAVE been looking at other machines over the past few years too. Can't wait to hear your reviews. The ONLY thing holding me back from a new machine, is I own several hundred dollars worth of feet that wont fit a new one.
An exciting new toy for you - woohoo!!!
Congrats to the winner.
woo-hoo! Yay for you and your new baby! I LOVE my Bernina!!!! Mine doesn't have bells and whistles, but it sews like a dream. BTW, I didn't know Bernina had the built in walking foot.
I love my Bernina, but the new ones out make me yearn for an upgrade...one day, XOXO
You will love your new machine...they are so sleek..can't wait to see pictures and how you like it.....
Congratulations on your new machine. I love my Berninas. :-)
Congrats on your new Bernina! I love my Bernina 153, I just bought her a SewEzi table to bring to the retreat!
Good for you!!!!~ There are so many wonderful machines out there..I'm sure you chose well and will enjoy it for YEARS to come. I can't wait to participate in your BOM / Sew-Along.
A small pkg. is winging it's way to you... Left here today.
Congratulations on your new toy Pat and congratulations to Anne on her win.
I love my Bernina too! It sews and quilts like a dream and I like that it doesn't have all those plastic parts like many other machines. Have fun!
Hi Pat, I was wondering if you got my email with my snail mail address. My email was acting up and I just wanted to make sure. Thanks, Anne
Yay! I'm patiently waiting for a delayed delivery of the Bernina 750 that Santa gave me this year! Which one did you get? I have loved my 1630 since 1997 so it's time.
