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 Spring 2012 Fabrics Normally we feature incoming fabric on this Web page near the bottom of the page - but, we wanted to mention a few new - and beautiful - Spring 2012 fabrics that recently have come in: "Musings" by Jason Yenter for In The Beginning Fabrics and "Pompeii" by Blank Quilting. Stop by and give them a look. BERNINA Quilt Frame Come on by at your convenience and give it a try! A short Flash-Video of the BERNINA Quilt Frame in our store. BERNINA 3 Series Stop By And Give Us A Look - and SEW using it. 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!

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.
