Ik krijg erg vaak te horen: “Dan heb je zeker een speciale machine?” wanneer mensen mijn werk zien. Ja en Nee. Op mijn bureau staat inderdaad de nieuwe Aurora van Bernina sinds een jaar te pronken. Ik heb hem een jaar geleden ingeruild voor de Quiltersedition. 150 QE. Gewoon omdat het op dat moment een verstandige keus was om hem tegen een nieuwe in te ruilen. De QE 150 had nog behoorlijk wat waarde maar had ook een nog nooit gebruikt CPS systeem. (je kon de steken via de computer programmeren en geloof me, zoiets doe je dus nooit, daarvoor moet je je naaimachine naast je pc zetten, teveel werk) Ik wilde mijn steken dus weer gewoon op mijn machine. Maar diegenen die mij goed kennen weten dat ik altijd op vakantie ga met mijn oude naaimachine, ook een Bernina, 25 jaar oud en nog steeds geliefd. Ja, lach niet, ik neem mijn naaimachine mee op vakantie! Mijn man en ik hebben de perfecte vakantie uitgedacht. Onze bestemming is altijd ergens in Frankrijk (soms gecombineerd met de grote tentoonstellingen) We staan ’s morgens vroeg op en rond 8 uur zit ik achter mijn naaimachine en mijn man op de fiets. Rond 12 uur is hij weer terug en de middag is van ons samen om van alles te gaan ondernemen. Voor ons beiden perfect, ik kan eindelijk 4 uur per dag ongestoord werken. Op dat moment verzet ik dan ook bergen werk. En dat wordt toch echt allemaal op de oude Bernina gedaan. Conclusie: Het is de mens die het maakt, niet de machine!
People often ask me: “You must have a special sewing machine?” when they see my work. Yes and No. On my desk there is actually the new Aurora by Bernina, showing off. I traded it a year ago for my old QE 150 (Quilters edition) just because it was a wise decision at that moment to trade it for a younger one. The QE 150 was still valuable but had also a never used CPS system (you could change the stitches by computer, but trust me, you never do that because you have to move your sewing machine near your pc, to much work) I just wanted my stitches on my machine and not on my pc.
People who know me very well, know also that I take my sewing machine with me on holiday, also a Bernina, 25 years old and still loved. Yes, don’t smile, it is not a joke, I take my sewing machine with me on holiday! My husband and I have thought of the perfect holiday. We always go somewhere in France (sometimes combined with the big expositions) We always rise early and at 8 o’clock I am behind my sewing machine and my husband is on his bike. He is back round 12 and the afternoon is for the both of us to visit things or something. For the both of us it is the perfect holiday, I can finally work 4 hours a day without interruption. On these holidays I can do so much work! And it is all made on my old Bernina. Conclusion: It is the people how are doing the work, not the machines.

Sounds like the perfect vacation to me!
I have been known to take my Bernina on Holidays with me too Jacqueline.
Your old Bernina is a great machine and they are much sort after by Machine embroiderers to take to workshops.Your new machine has many wonderful features as well especially the stitch regulator.
Sounds a perfect holiday to me as well. I take my laptop on holiday and take photos during the day and play with them in the evening. We get up very early and are out walking and getting tired, so after the evening meal we go to our room.
How great both do what you love when on holidays!! I'd have a difficult decision here, as I LOVE sewing and I LOVE cycling. I think I would have to take it in turns.....
