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!

Ask about their in-store availability. They are beauties! Our first 7-Series machines for customers have been delivered to them! It was great to see the customer's machines find perfect homes for the holidays - and for 2013 and beyond. A 5-Min. Movie the 7 Series 780 in our store. Oct. 2012 Selected Stitch and Embroidery Samples from the 7 Series 780 and 710 710 Has Arrived - Stop By and Try! 750 Arrived and Was Delivered - Ask About the Next one: Soon! 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 10-Min. Movie the 7 Series 780 Retrieve Icon Support Dec. 2012 If you have time, we would love to show you the BERNINA 7 Series! Click on any machine, below, for more information about the BERNINA 7 Series. You will be viewing that on the Bernina USA Website.

Sew Steady Table Available Now at Bernina World of Sewing Perhaps you have a bernette 46 or ANY bernette or BERNINA that can use some additional work space: Are you looking for a holiday gift - or, just something for yourself? You may be interested in the Sew Steady table that is now available at Bernina World of Sewing for the bernette 46 -- or, you may order the table for all bernettes or BERNINAs. Having the extra work area is terrific; Stop by the store and give the table a look. A short movie showing use of the table. BERNINA 8 Series Stop by and see the 8 Series at our store!

Selected Stitch and Embroidery Samples from the 5 Series 580 BERNINA USA Website for information on the BERNINA 5 Series NOW in our store for you to try/purchase! A short Flash-Video of the Bernina 5 Series at our store. 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!

After the first couple of Gatherings we knew for certain how many would continue with the "One Block Wonder" Gatherings in 2013 - and, the 2013 Gathering was held in two groups. The 2013 Gathering has been completed. Congratulations to all! We had a Web-page and BLOG related to this project. As the Gatherings moved along in 2013, the Gathering Web-page and BLOG contained information, photos and summaries of the Gatherings. Some of the Teams - and Some of Their Work. Congratulations!

Thank you. In 2012, we had the Smokey River Gathering. Thank you, to those who took part! For information: 4-Minute Movie of Smokey River Gathering's Happenings Archived Smokey River Gathering Web page. In 2011, we had two full-year "Gatherings". Each of the Gathering's quilts were selected with two objectives firmly in mind: 1) Beautiful pieces and 2) Quilts that you might view as "once in a lifetime" happenings; Not necessarily quilts you would make on a regular basis.
