After six years of service to the Bernina-using community, the founder of this site was ready to retire from it, so put out a call on the PatternReview forums for a new administrator. I offered to take it over, so here we are. I just got my first “own” sewing machine this month as a very late Christmas/40th birthday present and went for the Bernina 480. So far, I’m loving it, and trying to restrain myself from prodding the internal computer too much.
When not playing with my new toy and marveling at how much decent, salvagable fabric really is in a lot of clothing and home textiles, I’m helping software developers at a big German auto parts manufacturer deal safely, reliably and economically with the cloud – Azure as our main cloud provider and Kubernetes as our main platform, but with an eye on the rest of this wildly-expanding market; before that, I was a systems administrator specializing in Skype for Business, Active Directory and ActiveRoles Server. If any of that that sounds familiar to you, https://mandie.net might be of interest. If it doesn’t, it probably won’t be.
If you have a resource you want me to add or update, or just general comments on this site, please use this form
