Bernina Embroidery Club

Rose has a gazillion stitches clocked on her Artista 200E… and we're pretty sure none of them ever sewed anything! All that time she spends embroidering is sheer, free experience for the rest of us. She tries out everything she can get her hands on and shares it in Clubs. That means you can learn all about the latest designs, techniques, and products without you doing so much as showing up once a month. The fun begins, of course, when you get back home and try out what you've learned yourself. Be sure to check the Embroidery Club schedule below and come to the next meeting.
Please see the Bernina Embroidery Club schedule in the column at right…

OESD Tip of the Week

If you do machine embroidery you should be signed up for this email bulletin. Sign up through www.embroideryonline.com. Every week you'll get another tip from Emma dealing with different issues in machine embroidery. There will be valuable tips and techniques, letters from subscribers, and heads-up news from OESD. This is a don't-miss-opportunity from those who know!

Embroidery Tip: Loading Bobbins in 200/730 Artistas

Make sure when you looking at the back side of the bobbin case that the bobbin turns clockwise when you pull on the thread. If it's inserted incorrectly, you will constantly get "out of thread" messages.

New Machine Embroidery Cards, CDs, and USB Sticks

We get two or three new collections every month so you'll always have something to add to your collection. Some of the new designs are part of the new Dream Designs line. Many of you want to sell your creations at craft shows and bazaars and now you can! Look for the collections labeled "Bernina Crafter’s Collection" and you can sell items with those designs on them. Please see “Crafter's Collection Details” on the embroidery design packaging for more information. Check labeling carefully as design collections labeled "Licensed" may not be used for items being sold.

Pick Your Own Designs

New on CD from OESD - We can now make a Take Out Embroidery design CD for you that is customized with only designs that you choose. "Pick your own Packs" of 10 or 20 designs. Any non-licensed design in the big catalog is fair game.

Free Embroidery Downloads

Bernina offers a sampling of their beautiful embroidery designs as free downloads each month. They change often so you need to check them each month. Bernina also offers free downloads of embroidery designs that are part of project ideas. They are available as long as the projects are.

Which Embroidery Designs Come on a New artista?

Included embroidery designs are now illustrated on the Bernina USA web site. So, prepare to be impressed with the truly beautiful embroidery designs that are included with your purchase of the artista 200E, the artista 185E and the artista165E. The "E" stands for "embroidery", of course, and means that these machines come with an embroidery module and a set of wonderful embroidery designs to be stitched onto your favorite home decorating projects, garments, quilts, and craft projects. Click on the artista model of your choice and take a look at all the exclusive designs that come with it.

Embroidery Online

Check out embroideryonline.com
This site is chock full of designs, accessories, and information. They offer some free designs that change from time to time. Currently offered designs are a dragon using a computer, a sunflower bookmark, pansies, acorns and leaves, leaping reindeer, an American heart, and zebra eyes. Rose made the bookmark at left for May 2003 Embroidery Club and it's not available for free anymore. They only leave them up for free for awhile and then they're gone, gone, gone. So check their free designs often. If you miss out on a freebie, you can always buy it very inexpensively.

Please remember to use our access code 101-98-1089 when you order on-line from OESD at embroideryonline.com. It will save you the time of looking up our store in their database.
