Bernina Activa 130? Nice machine. Will give you many years happy sewing. Take care of it as instructed in the manual, and it will take care of you. Happy sewing! :)
Where are you based, and what will you sew?
I seem only able to post in reply to some one elses post Karen
You have to click "start a new topic" at the top and then you can post independently.........otherwise, it is a reply .. I think those are the only two options.....
Oh, excellent! I love the way the Indian tailors here just look at you and CHOP! One blouse cut out in the right size! But it's a dying art, and I know that if you produce a good pattern that covers a good range of sizes, it will sell well over there - and here! :)
One thing that always amuses me is the total lack of finishing off in most Indian clothes here, even unlined ones. I bought a sari at New Year, to cut up and make a jacket out of (it's a challenge and this will be the third one I've done for myself), and the blouse to go with it is lined but unfinished, even on this quite pricey sari.
How about some salwar kameez patterns too? And patterns for men's clothing?
Best of luck, and keep us posted on how you get on with the machine and the sewing. If your patterns need beta-testing, I'd love to try it for you! :)
Oh, a good email group to belong to for sewing and sewing related professionals is sewbiz:
