I traded in my Bernina 450 for the screamin’ superstar of all sewing machines—the Bernina 830. I’m almost embarrassed at such extravagance. Almost. Ok, I am a
little embarrassed. But let me just say, I would never buy such a machine without having a good reason to—my sewing business. And last year was a great year for Meringue Designs which meant I owed lots of taxes….which meant I could buy this baby at the end of December and thus eliminate that tax liability. Gotta love a write off. I know, I know, if you are like my CPA hubby you are shaking your head and saying, “It’s stupid to spend a $1 to save 30 cents.” Mathematically, that is true. But sewing machines aren’t really about math are they?
So stay tuned as I blog about my adventures with this dynamite sewing machine. I’ve done some embroidery and some sewing and already I am super duper happy. Once I got past the crazy new bobbin issues, I’ve been happy. Thanks to
this blog for helping me understand that you just gotta oil this sucker quite often. Bobbin and tension problem solved!

oh wow. what can I even say to this post? Bernina 830?! How exciting! Seriously, cannot wait to see all the fabulous things you create with this. The digital screen is already overwhelming me. :)
Wow, how luxurious! Congratulations on all your success and being able to treat yourself to such a wonderful machine. Enjoy it and be sure to give us lots of updates!
I'm drooling with envy! I think I showed Nathan the 830 every time it was featured in another ad, lol. He promises me that someday when we are 100% debt-free and the retirement fund is looking good that I will get my dream machine. For now, I'll covet yours (without coveting the daily work you have to put into running a business, lol). Have fun with that bad boy!
This machine is an amazing thing to watch.
