New Machine Day: Unboxing My New BERNINA 735!

October 13, 2026 By The Crafty Author 1 Comment

Hello, friends! 🩷 It’s officially NEW MACHINE DAY in The Crafty Author studio, and I’m so thrilled to welcome my beautiful new BERNINA 735!

🩷 SHE’S HERE! 🩷 Come unbox my beautiful BERNINA 735 with me! The excitement is REAL, and I cannot wait to put this beauty to work!

Why a new machine feels like such a big deal

If you sew or quilt, you know your machine becomes part of your creative life. So when a new machine arrives, it’s more than a box showing up at the door. It’s a fresh invitation to make something you love!

Why I chose the BERNINA 735

I chose the BERNINA 735 because I wanted a machine that felt like a good fit for my sewing and quilting life, and one I’d be excited to get to know as I take on future projects. I’m looking forward to exploring it gradually and discovering what feels most helpful in my everyday studio time.

I’m keeping this first look focused on the joy of bringing it home rather than offering a full review. Every maker has different needs, and the best sewing machine for you is the one that suits the projects you enjoy and feels comfortable in your own creative space. If you’d like to explore the manufacturer’s details, you can visit the official BERNINA 735 page.

For now, I’m simply thrilled that she’s here! I’m going to take my time getting familiar with the machine, learning its setup, and seeing how it fits into the work I already love doing. A new tool can bring fresh energy, but there’s no need to rush. One project, and one little discovery, at a time is a lovely way to begin.

And now I want to hear about your machine! Which BERNINA or sewing machine do you sew on? If you’re still deciding, what do you hope to make with your first one? Share in the comments: I’d love to hear what’s on your sewing table!

Thank you for celebrating this happy new-machine moment with me, friends. I can’t wait to share more as I get to know my BERNINA 735 and start making fresh things in The Crafty Author studio. Until next time, keep creating, keep learning, and enjoy every stitch! 🧵

With love and a little extra excitement,
Anisa

    One unboxing photo that’s easy to forget: the serial label, while the machine is still easy to move. Keep it with the purchase receipt and return deadline. StoreProof puts those together on iPhone or Mac: https://storeproof.one/iod. We work on the app. Not the fun part of a new Bernina, but useful before the packaging disappears.
