I have a Bernina 700 machine—when using large hoops sometimes the hoops seem to shake—the tray I recently purchased has solved the issue! It is great! So glad I found your shop on line!
This new and improved Bernina chair is so comfortable and helps you not cause body damage. It’s economically correct. Best chair ever if you sew allot.

Perfect fit!
Perfect fit! My needle threader was accidentally damaged and I was using it as it was, barely threading a small loop through the needle. It was so nice to have it working properly again! Threading with ease!
