Letter from Vicki/ March 20, 2008

What a whirlwind that this last year has been, and what an exciting time to be in this business!  The projects and products have been exciting and challenging and sometimes consuming.  Years ago, one of our customers commented, “I bet you have ideas that you haven’t even thought of yet.”  That is a phrase we often say in jest, but the truth is that we get so many of our ideas from you. 

One of the things that has kept us busy this last year is the development of the embroidery design collection called “In a Clutch” released in October of 2007.  It is a new concept for embroidery because it lets the fabric be the star.  The quilting and creation of the elements of the purse are done in the embroidery hoop and the purse is then stitched up with your sewing machine.

Now for the next collection, we are designing a travel collection of accessories.  This collection is scheduled to be out some time in September of 2008.  So the homework never stops the ideas just keep flowing, and sewing stays new and exciting.

But the best part is being able to share it with you, and seeing you enjoy what you have created.  Whether you are sewing for a garment, a gift, or a quilt, you are making memories with your machine.  Having something created just for you is the new luxury, and personalizing is the new opulence.

Whatever your sewing style, from straight stitch to high tech, we are here to help you enjoy the process with the best machines, fabric and classes around.  Come by any time and see what is new at the Bernina Sewing Studio.

Happy Sewing,

Vicki
