Whoops sorry @liesl I completely forgot you already carry one😳. I have one similar but it is only in inches not metric also. They are very handy little gadgets but sometimes you need to revert back and “translate” and with mine it is sligtly tricky without the use of a calculator (and even that is a mindbender).

I have the one sold in the O+S store, I use it all the time.

I finished my sons blazer, finally. It was a big sew. I now know why Liesl is not keen to make a kiddy size pattern…

Next, jeans for me!

@rebecca, it is much faster then a household machine and far more powerful.
It will sew a buttonhole on anything, even canvas (I am talking about tarp canvas).

It has a range of stitches, just like a domestic one.

I adore it.

First in the new series of GBSB and one of the contestants was wearing a cinema dress. I am such a geek for spotting it! Next week is children’s sewing week.

@motherof5 I think you have the Bernina 950? I’m considering to buy one that is used; I already have a Bernina active 125 (15 years old, household Bernina). I just want something *faster*, but not super interested in an industrial straight-stitch only. I like the Bernina semi-industrial, because it still has zig zag!

Do you have a household…[Read more]

I received the very same message as well. I was wondering if it was spam.

Are you referring to the one we already carry?

I’m wondering, if Liesl might stock it in her shop if there was enough interest? The last link looked really great a d I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some decent see throug rulers. And also the grid paper that is used for pattern making. It might help with the many many alterations I have to do.

Thanks, y’all! I am genuinely surprised how hard it is to find! I found this one: http://www.fashion-school.com.au/products/pattern-makinggrading-ruler/ , in case anyone else is on the hunt. I do love the combo inches/metric option — thanks for all the suggestions!!
