This year BERNINA University was at the Gaylord Opryland Nashville. What an experience to be in the Music City at the largest non-casino hotel in the world! We were able to attend an enjoyable evening of nostalgia at the Grand Ole Opry! We also enjoyed great food, entertainment, sharing ideas with colleagues, seeing friends and taking classes on all the soon-to-be-released BERNINA products that are shown in our newsletter, so take a look and keep an eye out for new arrivals from Steckborn, Switzerland throughout the fall!
The highlight of the weekend was to get our hands on the soon to be released BERNINA long arm machine. This is a much awaited BERNINA product and what an amazing machine! Having been a longarmer there are so many features Kathryn is excited about! The Q series has a unique tension system with numeric tension settings, a forward position thread stand and programmable handles. With much anticipation we look forward to their arrival at Bear Paw.
The B880 STERLING EDITION will be arriving in America in October! This is a beautiful limited edition with a stylish faceplate and special extras. Arriving in September is the SWISS EDITION red B530. Also, arriving this fall are the bernette Sew Pink, the Chicago 5 and the new patchwork foot made for accuracy with the 9mm machines.
Be sure to join us for the BACK TO SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE September 12th & 13th. Get inspired by the new class samples and check out demonstrations on new tools of the trade and receive 10% off. To help with all those new fall projects enjoy 20% off fabric on the bolt with a 1/2 yd minimum.
