The next cover tutorial...
Friday, October 21, 2011 at 12:46PM Is in the making! I’m spending the day on creating the Bernina 830/820 machine cover tutorial. Of course it will be very similar to the one I did on the Bernina 1300MDC serger, since I want all my new covers to match! I should have it done in the next few days.
Recently Bernina International (at least, I think that’s where I found it!) Australia (thanks Trish and Chris!) posted a free “Bernina” embroidery design, and I think I’d like to add it to the 830 cover this time. To see how it might look, I took a picture of my cover as it looks right now. I saved the image as a jpeg file, then in the Bernina embroidery software, I went to the Settings menu, Fabric Display, and selected Fabric->Centered, and browsed over to my saved image file.
;)
Then I simply inserted the embroidery file, played with the thread colors, and moved the embroidery motif around to see if and where I liked it. Pretty cool eh? Sometimes I need to do things like this to see how my ideas look.

I am looking forward to your tutorial. :) Would love that Bernina design but can't seem to find it on Bernina International or the USA website.
I was wondering if you can share that free "Bernina" embroidery design? :)
I'm asking one of the Yahoo groups if they remember where it came from! Ack! Memory is the first thing to go... well right after that waistline anyway.
I looked at the Bernina international site and didn't find the design. If you happen to remember where you got it, can you let me know? I love it! (Of course it could be there and I'm too dense to find it... )
The Bernina embroidery design on your lastest machine cover is beautiful. It makes me wish I had the embroidery package on my 630 machine. I didn't think I would ever want to do embroidery!
I've looked everywhere on m,y computer & can't find the design, but I know I've seen it somewhere. You're right, the mind is the first thing to go after (maybe before) the waist, the knees, the back, etc. It will be beautiful, but I too won't be able to get to it until after the holidays--which are coming all too fast. Thanks for this. Diane in CT
The logo came from here ;-)

Looking forward to making one for my new 1150MDA!!
Thanks Trish for the link!
CJ, I am looking forward to making the cover for my 1150MDA and my 830! Thank you again for doing these tutorials!
Thanks to Trish for finding it on the Australian Bernina site! There are a bunch of different free designs to download there too - under "inspiration" on the left.
I've bought the fabric to make your serger cover for my 1300MDC and am so looking forward to your tutorial for the 830 cover! Since I have the LE, I plan to embroider the LE logo on my cover. That just leaves my 430 coverless -- maybe I can adapt one of these to fit. Thanks for all your hard work -- or should I say "play".
Your quilts look great! Thanks for the Bernina logo. I am new to V6 and didn't realize I could use a picture to do like you did with the logo. Thanks!
