In this chatty update I’m sharing two big things happening at once: Bernina’s new hoops for 2025 (lots of new things to look at) and a major life change… I sold my house. It’s one of those “sewing room and real life” moments where I’m excited, a bit overwhelmed, and trying to keep everything practical—because that’s always how my sewing life goes. On the Bernina side, I’m talking through what’s new with the hoops and why it matters if you do embroidery regularly. I’m the kind of sewist who likes to know what’s actually useful at the machine—what could make hooping easier, what might help with stability, and what feels like a genuine upgrade versus just “new for the sake of new.” Then I switch gears into the house news and what selling means for my space, my routines, and how I’m thinking about the next chapter. If you’re here for honest chats alongside embroidery and Bernina updates, this one’s for you.
