I found an old machine at the donation point today - it had been raining all night and I don't know when the charity would have come to collect it... it was in an old suitcase...

missing feet attachments and the dials had come off,tension dial on no. 1... but other wise OK. Plugged it in, and it zoomed, but I didn't have any thread

or bobbin with me at the time, on my way to work.

the machine is called a Virnina (if I remember correctly). Couldn't find anything on the search engines-they just took me to bernina sites!

Does anyone know about these machines at all?

Thanks, helen
