Sewing Tips and Fashion News
Virtual Bernina Club
Now at two different days and times! We are now offering Bernina Club on Thursday evening and Friday afternoon. Please come join us – relaxed, informative and very fun!
Vivien Swant is continuing with our Virtual Bernina Club. Come and learn some new techniques.
All clubs are free at Bernina Sewing Center. We would like all of our customers to take advantage of the trainings we offer. The more you learn about your sewing machines, the more you use it, and get your money's worth. Bernina of America is big on education, and if you don't take advantage, you are missing out. This policy will apply to our 4 clubs: Bernina Club, Embroidery Club, Software Club, and HandiQuilter Club. Some of the clubs offer an optional DVD for the lesson. These will be available for you to purchase for only $5. Please call and register ahead of time so we have adequate materials prepared. Thank you!
Each session will incorporate a presentation by a Virtual Bernina educator, and a hands-on opportunity will follow with guidance our own Vivien Swant.
These opportunities will be hosted on the web by trained Bernina educators. You will learn many new techniques, and learn about new products and how to use them.
Please register early to reserve your spot and help us serve you better.
Please see the Bernina Virtual Club schedule in the column at right…
