This is the first Bernina item I owned. Many years ago while wondering through a yard sale, I saw this unique piece of sewing equipment. It was in the original box without instructions. My quest for how to use it led me to Bernina in Stitches in Johnson City, TN and to one of the Loves of my life – the “World of Bernina”! Love my machine and all of the attachments, but the #83 has a special place in my heart. Yes! They showed how simple it is to create beauty in circles and introduced me to Bernina. Love my machines, the shop and the years of learning new things from Bernina!!!!! Thank you!
