Clubs Free for 2010!

We will be making some changes in our clubs for 2010. We have decided that, because of economic challenges, we will offer ALL CLUBS FREE of charge for one year. We would like for all of our customers to take advantage of the trainings we offer. (After all, 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.

My Label is a unique program designed to give you the freedom of creating, designing, and sewing your own garments using baic style patterns provided by Bernina, without the need for expensive industrial equipment. This program allows you to view your design choices on a 3D model representing your own measurements! You will be able to view how the finished product will look as simulated on the 3D model that was mde to match your body type, proportions, and exact size. You choose the style and it is automatically adjusted to fit your measurements. You can then drape the style on your model and add design details such as fabric textures, buttons, Bernina embroidery, and stitches.
