Boyd Sewing News BERNINA/BERNETTE/BABYLOCK HUSQVARNA VIKING From the Editor, We sure have some exciting times earth quakes and all. Pretty much everything here was fine. All the machines stayed upright we had thread and some machine parts that hit the floor but no damage. Thank you for asking. Frank and I were out of town for the event at a Viking meeting. New things happening with Viking come in and see. Those of you that got new machines for Christmas remember to come to your classes. Talking about classes some one asked me if she could still take her classes? Her machine was 5 years old and now that she has retired has time. The answer is of course! If you would like to repeat the classes, that’s ok. We are working on the dates for Kids Camp. There will be an update soon. Keep Sewing,
