Last winter I had the opportunity to join in with other BERNINA ambassadors for a fun weekend reunion. We mingled, ate and played with every possible feet and accessories the team of educators could throw at us. I had a blast. The only stressful/terrifying/mortifying part came in the shape of a filmed Q&A. I am not comfortable with public speaking and under stress I seem to forget how to speak English properly. Still they did a wonderful job editing out the terrified looks I kept giving the cameraman and I am grateful for the opportunity to hear what I sound like to others. Not even remotely how I imagined! Such are the perks of working with a seasoned team of professionals.
Since this video was filmed I have switched sewing machines going from the B580 up to the B780. It is not too early to tell you that they are not in the same class. Both excellent but much like a Toyota and a Lexus, not equal. I have been familiarizing myself with the B780 this summer and hope to be able to really start reporting on it as soon as the little one goes back to school. The backpack as been ordered... First grade is an exciting time for mom and child alike!
So with more on the new "ride" very soon, I leave you to find out what a terrified French woman sounds like (spoiler: she drops a lot of plural s).

oh Juliette! So cool to see you speak and come alive! You did just perfect. English is my 1st language and I get really cuckoo in front of a camera. I suddenly sound very dumb and I giggle like a silly girl, like I'm flirting! So embarrassing. You were one of the 1st crafting/sewing blogs I came across back in 2007/2008 and I love seeing you "in person"!

Oh la la is right, Juju. Such a lovely accent! Your excellent English is much better than my non-existant French. I loved your interview.
