How cute are these?
Caitlyn and Shannon went to Zakka city with the leather roller foot (#55)! Who knew simple applique could deliver such fun results?
The Power of a Bernina
Ever wonder how strong a Berning REALLY is? Forget about sewing through leather, this is epic. You may be asking why we are showing you a picture of a bent #26 teardrop darning/embroidery foot. No, we didn't go crazy with a wrench, nor did we run over it with a vehicle. This was the result of the presser foot not being secured to the machine when beginning embroidery. The needlebar struck the foot repeatedly, bending it out of shape. Have you ever seen anything like it? We certainly haven't!
The best part? The machine is sewing fine, timing and all. Feel free to hug your Bernina after reading this!

BERNINA! What is it good for? Absolutely... EVERYTHING
There truly is a Bernina for every sewer. Today we will review the gamut of sewers we love calling our customers. Which one are you?
1. The Home Decor Enthusiast
1. The Home Decor Enthusiast
It's all (perfect!) buttonholes and decorative stitching. That pillowcase you made last week just wouldn't be the same without that cool art-deco looking satin stitch on the edge! You may be tasked with mending and you like a machine that can be packed up and gets around with ease. You need one of the new 3-Series my dear friend.
2. The Quilter
Let's face it. You're a pro and people are most likely kicking down the big bucks for your work. What's your secret? Next to insurmountable creativity, your Bernina 820. It has everything you need to produce only the highest-quality pieces, like the Bernina Stitch Regulator and the Dual-Feed Foot System. Top it off with unbeatable features and you have a machine that will never let you down.
3. The Garment Sewer
Adjustable presser foot pressure? Check. Perfect tension? Check. Fantastic decorative stitches for embelleshing the front of that gown? Check. Free-hand system to speed up pivoting around the collar corner? Check. The Aurora 450. Consistent and quality performance from start to finish. Period.
4. The Embroidery Afficiando
Did somebody say 830? Oh wait, we did. Also known as the dream machine, this is the one that truly does it all. All the features of the 820 plus embroidery. What's not to love? Lots of room for sewing, or decadent embroidery in the Jumbo Hoop.
5. The Dabbler
Sometimes you get a hankering for embroidery, other times you just have to make the dress from that sweet pattern you picked up the other day. Then there are times when you want to make the dress, then decide to kick it up a notch by embroidering the bodice. You don't quite need all the room of an 830 as your machine may travel with you on retreats or getaways, so this was a natural choice. Say hello to your Artista 640 with Embroidery!
That's it for today folks! Come by the store and find out which kind of sewer you want to be!
You've been waiting
We know. We're sorry. But remember our promise? The one where all our shortcomings would be forgiven by way of a singular moment of epic proportion?
