Design Builder Machine Quilting Class
By Renae Allen from RGA Design LLC (Design Builder) Renae Allen established RGA Design LLC in 2006 and introduced her new Skillbuilder machine quilting products at The International Spring Quilt Market in 2007. She continues to develop new products which include fabric, books, CDs and DVDs for quilters who are interested in improving their machine quilting skills. As a Home Economics graduate from Brigham Young University, teaching others came naturally. Her business evolved from her passion for teaching and her love of fabric, sewing and quilting. Renae began sewing in elementary school and has been stitching one thing or another since that time. She resisted quilting for years, wondering why anyone would want to cut big pieces of fabric into little pieces, sew them back together again and still not have something lovely to wear. That all changed in 1999 and now she wholeheartedly endorses the art of piecing and quilting, especially machine quilting. Renae and her husband, Andy, live in Brigham City, Utah. They are the parents of five children and grandparents to thirteen grandchildren. 1-201 Class Fee $10 + supplies March 16th 1:30 – 4:30 Explore design possibilities and improve free motion quilting skills using Design Builder. Experiment with a variety of marking and transfer methods and then quilt different design shapes and styles on six different blocks, two borders, plus sashings and corner posts. The quilted panel can then be bound and used as a small quilt, a delightful apron, a fun bag or hot pads using free download patterns. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn from a great teacher that teaches all over the country!

Design Builder Machine Quilting Class
By Renae Allen from RGA Design LLC (Design Builder) Renae Allen established RGA Design LLC in 2006 and introduced her new Skillbuilder machine quilting products at The International Spring Quilt Market in 2007. She continues to develop new products which include fabric, books, CDs and DVDs for quilters who are interested in improving their machine quilting skills. As a Home Economics graduate from Brigham Young University, teaching others came naturally. Her business evolved from her passion for teaching and her love of fabric, sewing and quilting. Renae began sewing in elementary school and has been stitching one thing or another since that time. She resisted quilting for years, wondering why anyone would want to cut big pieces of fabric into little pieces, sew them back together again and still not have something lovely to wear. That all changed in 1999 and now she wholeheartedly endorses the art of piecing and quilting, especially machine quilting. Renae and her husband, Andy, live in Brigham City, Utah. They are the parents of five children and grandparents to thirteen grandchildren. 1-201 Class Fee $10 + supplies March 16th 1:30 – 4:30 Explore design possibilities and improve free motion quilting skills using Design Builder. Experiment with a variety of marking and transfer methods and then quilt different design shapes and styles on six different blocks, two borders, plus sashings and corner posts. The quilted panel can then be bound and used as a small quilt, a delightful apron, a fun bag or hot pads using free download patterns. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn from a great teacher that teaches all over the country!

They will share with you instructions on techniques, patterns, accessories and more, to help you become a better sewer. Take advantage and join us to see what BERNINA is offering the world! Fee: $10
BERNINA offers webinars that are filled with fun things on many different topics like, “How does QuiltMotion work?”-- “I’m looking at or have a 5 series machine and what all can I do with it?”-- “I know V6 software has so many capabilities like taking a picture that my child drew and digitizing it so I can embroider it. How do I do that?” --“What is Cutwork and can you use it for more than sewing?” --“I want to learn more about my 830 or 820 machine because it is so fabulous.” or “I love my embroidery machine and want to learn as much as possible on embroidery because it is SOOOO fun!”. These webinars are full of information from Bernina educators that want to help you in all these aspects. So instead of watching it all alone at home, we’re asking you out on a” LUNCH DATE” to come watch the webinars with us here at Dave’s BERNINA where we can answer questions or just hang out. It’s totally free. Just bring your lunch and have some fun. It will start right at 12:00pm.
