New Products at BERNINA University

The Artistic Artifacts team had a great time at BERNINA University in Salt Lake City, soaking in the experiences and learning all about the new models and products the experts at BERNINA have created. “Learning innovative techniques and sharing stories with fellow sewists, machine embroiderers, and serger enthusiasts has fueled my passion and creativity,” shares Andy Martin, who heads up our virtual Machine Embroidery Club and Serger Club (join them now). “Every demo, every conversation, every new tool and trick — each moment was a gift. I can’t wait to apply everything I’ve learned to upcoming projects and bring fresh ideas to my workspace.” Visit the BERNINA website for more details on the following new product announcements, and contact us with your interest or if you have any questions.

Coming soon, an addition to the BERNINA 7 Series, the BERNINA 770 QE PRO, bringing advanced technology to a whole new level.

Enjoy an impressive selection of specialty stitches (there are 76 quilting stitches) that make this machine perfect for adding beautiful detail to quilts, garments, and accessories alike.

July Accessory of the Month

Save 25% off MSRP on Jeans Foot #8 and Jeans Foot #8D** during the month of July! Jeans foot #8 is especially suited for sewing straight-stitched seams in tough, heavy fabrics such as denim, linen or canvas.

Multi-layered fabrics also benefit from its special design. When combined with the straight-stitch plate and its narrow needle opening, which gives the needle the greatest possible stability, the flat sole of this foot makes it easier for the foot to glide over the thick layers of fabric. (Please note that the new BERNINA Dual Feed only works with type-D presser feet.)

Jeans foot #8 is also ideal for straight-stitching medium weight and thin materials. Visit BERNINA’s We All Sew blog to learn about straight stitching with BERNINA Jeans Foot #8/8D from BERNINA Educator Sylvain Bergeron on both heavy (hemming thick layers of denim, tote bag strapping) as well as lightweight and even sheer materials, offering you tips on machine settings, needle selection and more!
