Fun with BERNINA Feet / Creative Quest

Artistic Artifacts is proud to be a BERNINA authorized dealer and now you can purchase BERNINA presser feet and BERNINA accessories directly our secure online shop! Give your creativity free rein with the wide range of presser feet and specialty accessories for sewing, quilting, embroidering and serging.

For our most recent Facebook Live presentation, I asked Leslie Gill-Aglah to share some of her favorite BERNINA Presser Feet. Since I’m an art quilter and art quilter, Leslie is a garment maker, I enjoyed the different opinions and perspectives on what makes a favorite presser foot. In our video Leslie demonstrates how she uses five of the feet on a variety of the BERNINA sewing machines available at Artistic Artifacts.

We’ll be happy to special order a BERNINA accessory for you if you don’t see what you need — email us with your request! Join Leslie’s Facebook Group, Textile Adventures of a Prima Dona — she will be producing a series of Five Minute Feet videos to educate and inform!
