New Horizon Mall 2600300 Writing Creek Crescent Rocky View County (Balzac) This event blends the love of quilting with the love of the open road. There will be something there for husbands and wives, and we will have some Bernina sewing machines available to test drive. Donation to the Veterans Association Food Bank will be graciously accepted and appreciated! I got used to sewing with a Foot 37 on my older model 5.5 mm soleplate Bernina, and thought I'd struck gold with a 57 foot (same quarter-inch foot, but with a guide for your fabric). When I moved to my 9 mm machine, I purchased the 57D foot (D means "dual feed" in the Bernina world), preferring to stick with my old favourite. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to purchase a 97D foot -- same dual feed capability and same quarter inch fabulousness -- Wow! The extra width on the left side of the foot in order to accommodate the 9 mm is amazing. If you haven't yet tried a 97D foot, come and see us to give it a whirl.
If you own a Bernina, you already know that the feet are solid gold! I mean...really solid. Compared to other manufacturers that have snap-on sewing feet, Bernina has full shank feet -- which means they are more expensive, but definitely worth the price as they have less "play" in the foot movement. From now until February 29, Bernina is offering a sale on feet. Buy 2 feet and get a 3rd for free....ABSOLUTELY FREE! Check the Bernina Canada website for full details, and then come see us today before the offer expires! If you don't own a Bernina (yet), why not check out the Swing into Spring sale on now until February 29. We can set you up ... Now's your chance to get into a Bernina -- check out these deals, but act quickly as they won't last! |
