A few matters came to mind recently that brought to mind: Sometimes, we have forgotten..... For discussion: "Traditional Quilts" I love the direction that "modern" quilt-makers have taken -- but, is it possible that in going down the current path we should/could be, also, considering some: "Back to the Future" matters? (I put the term "traditional quilts" in quotes, to give the topic a wide view; ala Reproduction quilts/block-types/fabric/etc.). Yes, we have had some excellent classes/events this past year that can remind us of what we may be missing in this "modern"/"art" age. However, I see that most "mass eMails" coming my way (often unsolicited, but that is another topic!), popular books, BLOG discussions and so on - seem to be less-and-less tradition-oriented. I have no problem with this -- yet: I also enjoy/appreciate having access to traditional-style pieces. I am lucky, just now, to see on a "Design Wall" a very traditional piece coming forth: Uncomplicated, very comforting to look at -- and, it will look great on some bed soon: Kind of a "Perfect for Grandma's Visit" quilt, I am sure. The fabric: Garden Delights - In The Beginning The start of a Design Wall project: What do you think about "back to the future" matters? Any comments or otherwise, please: send mail to: Hintofthemonth at Bernina World of Sewing dot com send mail to: HintoftheMonth at Bernina World of Sewing dot com Designing / Creating for a Specific Size. When was the last time you considered making a wall-hanging piece rather than "King/Queen/Full/Twin"-sized? Yes, of course, depending upon your wall at "your place", you may not have any concern about hanging your piece for a few months. However, why not take the time to know the showing-size of areas in your place that your piece could be for awhile? Often, a piece that you have created would be a fun/worthwhile discussion as friends/house guests join you for an evening. Consider, sometimes: The size of "your wall" display area as you create your piece. Hand Sewing. When was the last time you enjoyed some hand-sewing/quilting? Is it possible, in this "speed"-oriented current time that we are missing something of real-value? I assume that many of you participate in bees or other activities that fill any missing void in this regard. The Millefiori Gathering had an introductory session recently and it was great to see such a pleasant/relaxed group. We have a wait/interest-list for 2018 Gatherings.

I used the BERNINA 20D foot and both machines sewed perfectly. Selected Stitch Samples from the 7 Series 740 and 770QE I also had a look at the 7-Series Manuals. They are wonderful and, in addition to their beauty/quality, they are very user friendly.

Oct. 2012 Selected Stitch and Embroidery Samples from the 7 Series 780 and 710 710 Has Arrived - Stop By and Try! 750 Arrived and Was Delivered - Ask About the Next one: Soon! A Few Comments From Sonja of Bernina World of Sewing After First Use of BERNINA 7 Series The first time I saw the 780 I fell in love with the machine! I have not found one thing, so far, that "concerns" / bothers me. The new design is elegant while also having a touch of "streamlining". So far, I have had a chance to work/"play" with the 780 and the 710. The stitch selection on both is a straight-forward matter. The touch screen on both machines makes it easy to become familiar with the stitch folders. On the 710 I tried some of the new quilting stitches. I was impressed how the multi-directional stitch's sewing line was easily maintained.- even with the 9mm stitch blade. I definitely want to use some of the stitches with a wing needle; especially, stitch 1352 seems to have potential. For the 780, if I have multiple embroidery designs in the screen / hoop, I can see the order that I have inserted the different designs (by way of "table tabs" - via the Retrieve Function Icon support of the 780). I was working with a customer the other day and with less than five minute's experience on the machine she had a very beautiful multi-design finished piece ready to go! It was very impressive to the customer and to me. A 10-Min. Movie the 7 Series 780 Retrieve Icon Support Dec. 2012 If you have time, we would love to show you the BERNINA 7 Series!

A short Video of the Bernina 5 Series at our store. Oct. 2011 A Few Comments From Sonja of Bernina World of Sewing After First Use of BERNINA 5 Series The control panel is “next generation” and takes some getting used to. It you are a “text-er” and part of the networking generation it will come easily! Embroidery on the 580 is touch-screen; to me, it is kind of like a “baby 830” operating-wise. Many embroidery patterns are already loaded onto the 580. I leapt right in to using one of these patterns. Multiplied, Mirror Image and Reduce 50%. All were easy to do and stitched out perfectly! If you have time, we would love to show you the BERNINA 5 Series! BERNINA 3 Series Stop By And Give Us A Look - and SEW using it. Some Comments From Bernina Staff - After Working With the 3 Series for a Few Months The next time that you visit our store, we would like to invite you to get to know the 3 Series machine if you have not already done so. The machine is truly inspiring and invites us to create. BERNINA took the time to put together a reasonable-priced sewing machine with some extra – and, valuable – features We can highly recommend that you take the time to sew some with the 3 Series machines. As we had mentioned in our previous post: The physical design of the 3 Series is very attractive; classy and contemporary. Bright screen; easy reading! Background is black and the writing is white. Very comfortable to read. Start and Stop button, with Speed Control Needle Up and Down Separate motor for bobbin-winding. One-step buttonhole. Handle (at the top of the machine) has an opening for the Stitch Card. Nice! The new tray is very easily attached. Nice glide! All 3 Series machines have 30 memory slots. Most of all, the 3 Series machines have a beautiful stitch and they sew quietly and the sewing is “smooth”. The 3 Series comes with clip-on feet that are very easily exchangeable. In addition, the specialty feet that BERNINA makes may be used on this machine. This is a big advantage for those sewers who invest in specific feet for special tasks; for example: Feet for piping, rufflers, or quilting feet. Don’t hesitate to ask any of us at the store to show you the 3 Series!
