Who or What Is Big Bertha?

Big Bertha came to live with me about 6 years ago. You would love her if she came to your house even for a visit. I’m shocked with how easy she is to get along with most of the time. She is kind to me. She gives me beautiful items all the time. She isn’t really particular, but I try to give her what she needs & the best of the best care.  OK, I’ll reveal the truth. She is my embroidery machine. 🙂 Here is her portrait!

Big Bertha

This is my dream machine. Big Bertha has 16 needles and can sew as fast as 1500 stitches. I can do an 80,000 stitch in about an hour. This is with 16 colors or less and only a bobbin change. LOVE HER! She is about as tall as a small size apartment refrigerator and about as wide. In this “portrait” of her, she is wearing her Slimline Clamping System with the large windows installed.

It is time to call and arrange for Big Bertha to get her annual tune up and have everything serviced. I do ALL of the rest of the maintenance. That is the second best part of this embroidery machine. It is easy to care for and there are always plenty of people will to help you trouble shoot if you need it. I’m ready to get back to using this wonderful machine. I have taken about an 8 month break because of a new grand baby, the holidays, moving and selling the previous house. I know, it is really way past time to use this great machine. Yes, I love her!
