- The BERNINA 880 Arrives!!!
Imagine a machine that automatically responds to your needs. Now in stock the BERNINA B880, the most amazing sewing/embroidery machine combo on the market today fulfills your imagination. The presser foot automatically lowers at the start of a seam and lifts again at the end. The B 880 will even cut the thread for you at the end of a seam or color change in embroidery. The feed dog raises and lowers automatically for free-motion stitching and embroidery. And of course, fully automatic threading is yours at the touch of a button.
- BERNINA EDUCATOR Scheduled ! BERNINA Educator, Deb Cacciamani will be at Quilt’n Thyme December 6th, 7th, and 8th, holding training sessions for our staff on all of the sewing and embroidery machines in the BERNINA line. Because our classroom will be required for this training, the scheduled meeting of Deb Portelance’s Class on December 6th and the Sewins scheduled for December 7th and December 8th have been cancelled. The meeting of the Embroidery Club has been rescheduled for Tuesday, December 13th and the cancelled December 8th Sew-In has been rescheduled for Friday, December 9th. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This training is necessary so that we can better serve all of our customers.
- Publication of Dec. 15th Issue Rescheduled ! Yes, even editors, as with all of us, have a life outside of their chosen profession. Shortly after the publication and distribution of this issue this editor will be “hitting the road” to fulfill some family obligations. While every effort has been made to meet distribution deadlines of the 1st and 15th of every month, with early distribution brought about by breaking news and time sensitive issues, we have rescheduled the distribution of the December 15th issue for December 19, 2016.
The “WOW” factor doesn’t end quite yet. If you purchase a BERNINA B880 by January 31st, 2017, you are eligible to receive a Koala Sewing Studio for FREE (a $4,499 value)!!!* You don’t want to miss out on this amazing offer from BERNINA!
