- Come By and Try - a BERNINA 880
- bernette Chicago
|
Stop by and see the bernette Chicago at our store!
In addition to a beautiful stitch - perhaps you would like to get started in embroidery?
Stop by and try.
|
|
From Sonja: I had the opportunity to "play" with the brand new Chicago 7. I was amazed how many embroidery designs there were pre-loaded. The embroidery was very easy to learn and to use. It appears to be a great way for us to get started with embroidery and gives those who thought embroidery sewing machines were out of their reach a real way to discover how embroidery can be fun and worthwhile! Opening new doors.

A Few Comments From Sonja of Bernina World of Sewing
After First Use of BERNINA 7 Series
The first time I saw the 780 I fell in love with the machine! I have not found one thing, so far, that "concerns" / bothers me.
The new design is elegant while also having a touch of "streamlining".
So far, I have had a chance to work/"play" with the 780 and the 710.
- The stitch selection on both is a straight-forward matter. The touch screen on both machines makes it easy to become familiar with the stitch folders.
- On the 710 I tried some of the new quilting stitches. I was impressed how the multi-directional stitch's sewing line was easily maintained.- even with the 9mm stitch blade. I definitely want to use some of the stitches with a wing needle; especially, stitch 1352 seems to have potential.
-
For the 780, if I have multiple embroidery designs in the screen / hoop, I can see the order that I have inserted the different designs (by way of "table tabs" - via the Retrieve Function Icon support of the 780). I was working with a customer the other day and with less than five minute's experience on the machine she had a very beautiful multi-design finished piece ready to go! It was very impressive to the customer and to me.

A Few Comments From Sonja of Bernina World of Sewing
After First Use of BERNINA 5 Series
- The control panel is “next generation” and takes some getting used to. It you are a “text-er” and part of the networking generation it will come easily!
- Embroidery on the 580 is touch-screen; to me, it is kind of like a “baby 830” operating-wise.
- Many embroidery patterns are already loaded onto the 580.
- I leapt right in to using one of these patterns. Multiplied, Mirror Image and Reduce 50%. All were easy to do and stitched out perfectly!

If you have time, we would love to show you the BERNINA 5 Series!

Some Comments From Bernina Staff - After Working With the 3 Series for a Few Months
The next time that you visit our store, we would like to invite you to get to know the 3 Series machine if you have not already done so.
The machine is truly inspiring and invites us to create.
BERNINA took the time to put together a reasonable-priced sewing machine with some extra – and, valuable – features
We can highly recommend that you take the time to sew some with the 3 Series machines.
As we had mentioned in our previous post:
- The physical design of the 3 Series is very attractive; classy and contemporary.
- Bright screen; easy reading!
- Background is black and the writing is white. Very comfortable to read.
- Start and Stop button, with Speed Control
- Needle Up and Down
- Separate motor for bobbin-winding.
- One-step buttonhole.
- Handle (at the top of the machine) has an opening for the Stitch Card. Nice!
- The new tray is very easily attached. Nice glide!
- All 3 Series machines have 30 memory slots.
Most of all, the 3 Series machines have a beautiful stitch and they sew quietly and the sewing is “smooth”.
The 3 Series comes with clip-on feet that are very easily exchangeable. In addition, the specialty feet that BERNINA makes may be used on this machine. This is a big advantage for those sewers who invest in specific feet for special tasks; for example: Feet for piping, rufflers, or quilting feet.
Don’t hesitate to ask any of us at the store to show you the 3 Series!

Gatherings
For January-Thru-April 2015:
Bernina World of Sewing Downton Abbey 2015
We will be using the andover fabrics that arrived in November, 2014
and any fabrics that arrive as early-2015 move along.
|
Registration for this Gathering is now closed. This Gathering is fully subscribed. We plan a new Gathering for after this project ends; currently, planned duration for this Gathering is through April 2015. As information about the next Gathering comes forward, this comment will be updated. Thank you for your patience and interest/participation in our Gatherings!
Our January-thru-April-2014 Gathering project is Inspired by Downton Abbey Fabric from andover Fabrics
And by the book: Take 5 Fat Quarters, written By Kathy Brown, Published by Martingale.
We look forward to seeing all your beautiful work.
Note: You MUST be pre-registered to participate in the monthly Gathering. Just "Show-Ups" the day of the Gathering will not be allowed - we just do not have room for such in the classroom. Sorry!
Those who sign up and are participating in this Gathering were contacted in early January, 2015. The Gathering is now fully subscribed. A "wait list" has been started and if openings arise as the year moves forward those on the wait list will be contacted. For those participating and have been contacted, the next session for the 2015 Gathering for Downton Abbey fabric will held: Tuesday, February 17 at the store. Again: Please do NOT show up for the Gathering if you have not been contacted (there, simply, is not sufficient space for "walk-in" participants). Sorry!
|
|
|
|
Reminders:
- The Gathering participants purchased, from our store, the book and fabric used during the Gatherings.
- Gathering participants should have experience in sewing and in making quilts.
- Gathering participants, surely, interact. However, the Gathering is not a class . Each participant is expected to be able to manage his/her own project.
- The store will not be able to arrange and set-up class machines for use during the Gatherings. Gathering participants should bring to the Gathering what they need for sewing/cutting during the Gathering.
- Due to the numerous options / aims / of each Gathering participant, space at the Gathering is limited.
Gathering Participants must be pre-signed up. "Drop in" participants, due to classroom class size and machine space limitations will not be accommodated. Sorry!
- If a Gathering participant decides to "drop out" of the 2015 Gatherings, it would be appreciated if that were known by the store; there may a wait-list and, if a Gathering slot opens - Persons on the wait-list will be notified of such.
