One thing we all know is that quilters are givers. They sew to make gifts for Christ-
Bernina Mastery Classes - By Machine
mas, birthdays, graduations, weddings and any other occasion that would be blessed
by a passionately created gift. Sometimes they just create a gift for no particular
reason at all except for the chance to shower love on another. Or perhaps they
create gifts for donation to charities where they know they may never see the smile
they bring to someone else’s face but also know the great feeling giving such kinds
of gifts can bring. Clearly quilters are loved, for God loves a cheerful giver. It is a
delightful experience to daily share in the joy you have in the creation of gifts for
others. For that we thank you and are as motivated as ever to provide you with an
environment that stimulates and supports your passion to create and give.
As you’ll see on the cover, the staff has just completed a beautiful “Stitcher’s Garden” quilt with Batik fabrics. This quilt was created by using
every machine in the Bernina line so that it can be gifted to the

We are now grouping project classes by skill level rather than month.
Our monthly reference calendars can still be found in the center pages
of this book to locate classes by date if that is your preference. We have
also added an alphabetical listing inside our back cover to make referencing classes from the calender much easier. Bernina, Software, Club,

STAFF AND INSTRUCTOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Naomi recommends...
Best Press
Wendy M. recommends...the
Panasonic 360 Freestyle Iron.
This starch alternative is the best
thing I have ever used and it
comes in great scents
(Caribbean Beach
being my all time
favorite). I use this
on fabric before
cutting, anytime
I’m embroidering
and, of course, on
my shirts everyday.
It is cordless and comes in a cute
carry case. It has a curved sole
plate that has points on each
end, a detachable water tank and
GREAT steam. It’s first on my list
from Santa because it’s
everything a
sewing lover
wants in an
iron.
Jen recommeds... Milliners Needles size 11
by Patchwork With Busy Fingers.
These needles are spot on when doing fine handwork such as
English Paper Piecing and Hand Applique. They are the perfect
length with a sharp tip, a gold eye, and a wee bit of flexibility
which makes for a comfy fit in your hand. I really like that they
come in a small tube with a twist cap – they won’t slip out of
their container and walk off! And you get 10 needles per tube!
Linda recommends... Clover Wonder Clips
I love these little clips when putting on bindings.
They come in 3 different sizes so you can choose
your favorite...or all of them!
Kathy recommends...
Sewline Needle Threader
It is getting harder to see to
thread my needles
and this Needle
Threader works
great every time.
8
Noreen recommends...
Chaco Liners
This is one of the notions I use the
most. They come in different colors so they work on all different
fabrics. They make thin lines and
it brushes
off easily.
Michele recommends...the Sew-line Fabric Pencil
I do a lot of hand embroidery and have used many different pens and pencils and this one is the best! It is soft – so the lead doesn’t “catch” on the
fabric. As you work on a project the pencil lightens and is virtually gone by
the time the project is done. You’ll want more than one. (Another great
thing about the pencil – it’s pink!)
Monika recommends... Hoop Grip
This is great tape when hooping your embroidery.
It really grips the fabric and you get a much tighter
fit. But, I also love HEAT PRESS BATTING
TOGETHER. This iron on tape lets you join pieces
of batting that look perfect.
Carol recommends... Easy Kut
Spring Action Scissor
I use these to readjust and
guide fabric while sewing, and to trim threads.
I keep this tool in my
hands at all times for
quick and easy sewing.
Nicole recommends...
Clover Glass Head Pins
Being a new quilter, they
allow me to pin all I want
without damaging my
fabrics. I am working
toward that perfect
¼” seam!
Judi recommends...the Electric Seam Ripper
Since ripping seams is what I seem to do most, the Electric
Seam Ripper is a fantastic tool. It zips through seams quickly!
Teresa recommends...the 880 Special Edition
sewing and embroidery machine.
I could not create the designs and
projects that I make for classes and
gifts without my machine. I love all the
features on this machine, especially the
automatic threading, the built in basting boxes, the speed (sorry Kathy) and
the professionalism of the stitching.
9
Debbie recommends...Straight Tailors Awl
I can’t sew very long before I reach for my Tailors Awl. It is especially helpful when sewing projects with small pieces. It is great for
keeping half-square triangles lined up while feeding them under my
¼” foot and preventing me from sewing through a finger. It is also a
great way to keep seams lined up without pinning.
Nancy recommends...
Star Singles
I just finished a baby quilt that
had over 100 half-square triangles! I can’t even imagine making
it without this product. With Star
Singles I make eight precise halfsquare triangles with each Star
Single sheet. Now you can make
those quilts that you
avoided because of the
half-square tirangles.
Happy Sewing!
Treasure recommends...
Creative Grid 20.5”x20.5”
Ruler
I bought this ruler for a special
Claudia Dinell Class thinking I
was never going to use it for anything else because of its size...But,
this ruler rocks! It is true that I
most often grab my
12” square, but this
20 ½” is the second
most grabbed ruler
in my toolbox.
Whitney recommends...505 Spray
Spray it, stick it, hold it, sew it! It is an all around versatile lightweight glue that acts as a second set of hands. Whether you are
quilting, embroidering, doing applique, or layering, 505 Spray
is a must have for every sewing enthusiast. Add it to your list of
must haves today!!
Wendy “ Modern” Iris recommends
‘the best notion on the planet’...the rotary cutter.
It modernized the quilting world. You can use your modern
rotary cutter with the best ruler on the planet –
QUICK CURVE RULER. Give all your old traditional blocks a modern “curvy” look.

TECH TIP! David says...
I have heard that there is a question about the color of the replacement oil that
we sell for the machines. The oil for sale on the floor is the oil recommended by
Bernina USA for that series of machine, and it is made by an American company.
The oil that comes with the machines is from a European supplier. Now, what
is really important is that the oils match in purity and viscosity and that they do.
So do not let the color difference detour you when making a purchase.
