The weekly take down, haul around, and setting back up of my Bernina was not working well for either Bernie or me. Being 20 years old, Bernie likes staying comfortably situated on my sewing table, and the fact that she is all metal made it a challenged for me to carry her around. Thus I have been looking around for several months for a basic, light-weight machine that was well made, but reasonably priced. Our local Bernina dealer has recently begun carrying Juki for their lower end machines for those very reasons. After doing a little test drive at the store, I brought J. Jr. home with me.
Along with a lighter machine, I have also been searching for a good cart to make transporting easier. There are a lot of sewing machine tote/carts out there, but often there would be comments on breakage of the handles, or those that did get good reviews would also be quite expensive. My search led me to a very inexpensive option that I am liking very much. It is an early Christmas gift from my dear husband, so I would like to introduce Wheels:
Here's to happy sewing wherever I may be!
P.S. I did a little tweaking on my chicken echilada casserole recipe and my husband and I agreed that it was just right. I updated the recipe on the earlier post.
