WINTER 2014
Dear Customers,
As I'm writing this, we are bearing down on Christmas and looking towards the new
year! By the time you see it, 2014 will be here! BERNINA USA and BERNINA of OKC
posted great years in 2013, Introducing a Fantastic New Top Of The Line Machine, The B
880, and Ramping up to speed on the 7 Series machines as well! These are all great
BERNINAs and you should take a look! I've said this before, and I have to say it again: the
current crop of BERNINA machines is the best ever! Easier to use, more powerful,
smoother operating, faster than ever, with size choices from small and light to the largest on
the market. I can point with pride to this line of machines and say they are the best in the
world!
Don't miss the Oklahoma City Winter Quilt Show (details at www.qscexpos.com)! Great
teachers, including our own Charlotte Hickman, (all will be teaching on the Fantastic New
Bernina 7 Series!) will have fun classes for you there, along with displays of Fabulous Quilts
and those tempting vendors! Our booth will also have some fantastic offers for you!
Don't forget to check out the new Version 7 BERNINA embroidery software! It is even
easier to use, with better Icons, Stumpwork, 3-D embroidery, Multi-hooping improvements,
Articles (clothing outlines) for Background, Lettering additions, Easier User Interface! You
can update today as we are keeping enough in stock to make it easy!
Emily and I and the Staff have really enjoyed this year and are looking forward to
2014! We already know of some of the Big things happening soon! A Brand New 24"
BERNINA Quilting Machine made in the BERNINA factory in Switzerland! A Brand New
BERNINA 16 Needle Professional Embroidery Machine made by Melco, which has been
owned by BERNINA Switzerland for the past few years. There are other products on the
way, including a New Line of Sergers! Sounds like we'll be busy! I like it!
Thank you all for your business and friendship!

reflect this to remain useful!).
