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
|
Currently, we do not plan on 2012 Gatherings. However, some may be added, depending upon demand. Stay tuned - and, your comments are welcome.
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.
For information about the 2011 projects:
