Bernina videos, and spinning wheel book.

I have found that the instruction book included with the Bernina is adequate, but not exactly comprehensive.  As we are now in the digital age, I decided to look for videos online and see if I could find something more inclusive.

It wasn't hard to find!  Heirloom Creations has an entire video series with this machine on YouTube, covering every aspect!  I watched the Alphabets video first - that was what initially attracted me to this model.  (Other models have more alphabet features available, but were far less affordable for us.)  I will be going back and watching the rest of the videos soon.


In other news, I had at one point found out about a book called "New Zealand Spinning Wheels and Their Makers".  I located the author and asked about the book, but it had been a small publishing run and was no longer available. 


This morning I received an email from the author, informing me that the book is now available online, as downloadable PDF files, for free!  The website for the book files is at https://nzspinningwheels.wordpress.com/ and the original website is http://www.nzspinningwheels.info/.


I hope this is of interest to some of you.  Enjoy!
