… and thousands of stitches! That’s what is included on my new Bernina 790Pro machine. I like to have a visual of what a stitch looks like, so for this machine (as for my previous one), I’ve made a stitch book, following directions on the WeAllSew<\/a> site. Yes, it takes a long time to do this, but the results are worth it. Not only can I see what any stitch will look like, but I can rearrange the numbered stitch cards as stitches are added or eliminated from the firmware of the machine.<\/p>\n

I used to have all of the stitches for my previous machine in a 2″ three-ring binder, but I’ve had to expand into a second one; the first one simply wouldn’t close with all of the additional stitches on my new machine! But the book(s) is\/are done now, and I love having this reference.<\/p>\n

This is what the pages look like:\"The<\/a><\/p>\n
