If you had your choice between a brand new BMW sedan and a
state-of-the-art Bernina sewing machine, what would you choose?

Car vs. sewing machine: which would you choose?
|
Hmmmmm, not an easy decision, right?
Well it was for David Hyatt of Dallas, Texas, winner of
Bernina of America's "Test Drive a BERNINA 3 Series" sweepstakes.
He opted to take a cash prize to buy a Bernina Artista 640 rather than the 3 Series BMW sedan which was the ultimate sweepstakes
prize.
I love a man who knows what he wants.
The
58-year old Hyatt, test drove a 3 Series sewing machine at the BERNINA Sewing
Center inside the Hancock Fabrics at Firewheel Town Center, just northeast of
Dallas. Sewing has been his lifelong passion, hobby, and a profitable sideline
for Hyatt, who spent 18 years as working in the healthcare industry.
"It's
a creative outlet and I enjoy working with all kinds of fabrics," he said. "I
like to sew everything, and now I find I'm interested in machine embroidery."
Hyatt
sews clothes for himself and his sisters and has created three patchwork
quilts. For many years, he completed all kinds of upholstery for fun and
as a supplemental income. He's covered a car interior and motorcycle seats,
couches, chairs and ottomans. He said he obtained customers through word of
mouth.
Now
he can buy his dream sewing machine. You rock, Mr. Hyatt.
Happy
sewing,
Tricia
