New Bernina is installed!
This old dog is one tired puppy!
The acrylic insert isn't in yet, probably next week, so I just put the extension on that came with the machine and lowered the machine until it was nearly flush with the table. It will definitely work for now.
The table is really nice. It's much like the other Horn table, but there are some nice features added.
It has an electric lift for the machine. Nice.
It has a storage place underneath for the extension in the bottom photo. Nice.
It came with a built-in electrical strip. Nice.
The table has the Bernina logo on it even though it came from Horn. I asked. Apparently Bernina and Horn joint ventured on designing a table that would bear the weight of the bigger Berninas. Nice.
I wanted so badly to keep the other table, but with storage at a premium here, I decided it had to go. There's a Mennonite Thrift Shop two or three blocks from the house that was delighted to get it. I think it will sell quickly for them. In fact, before we left, there were a gaggle of ladies around the table looking at it. I've never been over there before. It was crowded with shoppers. I'll have to check them out later. An antique mirror caught my eye, and I was told they do get antique furniture on a fairly regular basis.
No, no, Vicky. No more stuff in the Quilting Condo!! None!!
I need to rest for a bit, and then start unpacking everything that I boxed up. I'm going to cull and toss a lot of stuff. A woman on a mission!
Judging from the number of exclamation points in this post, I'd say I'm a happy camper right about now!!!

What a beautiful table! ENJOY! I see many, many hours of sewing!
Your new table is beautiful. How awesome that it comes with an electric lift and built-in power strip! You're going to really enjoy it, I know! Eve in GA
Your new table is beautiful. I just got my 750QE and It fit in my old Koala table that I had my 440 in before. I have started sewing on the new girl and so far so good. it is certainly a big change for me. Good luck with yours.

OMGosh....this is gorgeous, excellent, and a dream combo!
Looks wonderful and so useful. I wish I had room for one; maybe someday.
Congratulations! Your set up is gorgeous! I love the drawer/leaf.
I am so excited for you! Actually now you are ahead of me, I still haven't bothered to adjust my lift and put in the insert. I don't have the power lift so it will take some fiddling. We can have a race now to see who does more than use the straight stitch! I do love the dual feed. Made Ilika's costume with felt and fleece and it al came together nicely, a cupcake with blue frosting and sprinkles. More later, today I am on a missions to clean a bit so I can sew tomorrow.
Wonderful sewing table!! I think this is the nicest one I've seen. Great features and a built in power strip. Here's wishing you many happy sewing days!!
What a nice set-up for the machine. You have waited a long time. Get busy sewing!
That will be so great for you!! (Totally jealous over here...) The hard part will be reminding yourself to take breaks. :-)
Oh! Wish I was close to that thrift shop!! That table would be mine!!
Very nice! It makes such a difference to have the machine inset--I only know that because I sewed for 20+ years on top of my husband's childhood 50's metal desk before getting an actual sewing machine desk. Hope you enjoy many happy hours stitching there :)
It's a beautiful table, Vicky.
Enjoy many hours of creative fun.
Hugs!
I'm slightly jealous, but more happy for you than jealous! I have a table built for my machine too and it makes all the difference in the world for me, so I understand all your exclamation points!!!! Enjoy!
soooo happy that everything is finally comming together for you so that you can enjoy sewing again.
no one deserves some happiness more than you! HUGGS!
Happy for you!!!!!
So impressive ~ beautiful set up Vicki! I think it is so worth all your effort! I'm eager to hear all about sewing on that new big Bernina!
Enjoy!! Penny in S CA
I'm so happy that you were finally able to get everything set up! A dream come true! Have fun sorting through your stash...I can pretty much sort through mine in a few minutes because I have a very small one. The scraps however...they're everywhere!
Wonderful set-up, wish I had one like it! Mine sits onto of countertop so always holding my arms in the air to sew...did you purchase local or order on-line?
That looks fabulous!
