FIRST HARVEST

A NEW MACHINE?

After lots of publicity, and following American newsgroups, the new Bernina 830 has been launched in the UK.

Despite the fact we are in the bottom of a recession, or so we are led to believe,I think this will a popular Bernina product.

I am still unsure whether I can justify such a huge outlay, but we are planning another visit to Manchester to have a look.

Check out what the Bamber boya got up to last week.

GRANDPARENTS

 

I bet the view was better in their youth.

BEEN TO BAMBERS

For quite a long time I have dealt with Bamber Sewing Machines of Manchester, but have never been there

Saturday saw us up and off - leaving sunny Coxhoe

The traffic was quiet until we reached Manchester where we got lost! Blame the navigator!

Steve Alan and their Dad "Mr. Bamber" made us really welcome - access was great - thanks for the help boys! It was lovely to put faces to names.

Our purpose was to see the new Brother Innovis 1 machine - I was very impressed, especially by the intelligent eye. Thanks Lorna for the demo.

Another bonus was that Jayne

won the prize draw - Pink Sewing machine!!

What a great day.

DRAGONFLY

Peter and Vince went for a walk!
