Sew Smart Club
Discover more from your sewing machine—one month at a time!
The Sew Smart Club is a dynamic, hands-on monthly club designed to help you unlock the full potential of your sewing machine. Each session focuses on a different feature, technique, or accessory, giving you the chance to build skills, gain confidence, and explore creative possibilities you may not have tried before. We demonstrate these features on our BERNINA and BERNETTE machines.
(If you have a machine that is NOT a Bernina, you are still welcome to join and we can talk about a similar features available for your machine)
How It Works:
Every month brings a new theme! From presser feet and decorative stitches to specialty techniques and machine functions, no two sessions are the same. You’ll learn how to use tools you already own (and maybe some you didn’t know you needed!) in practical, inspiring ways.
Monthly Bonus:
The cost of your session goes toward a credit that can be applied to purchase the featured accessory of the month. It’s the perfect way to try before you buy—learn the skill, test the tool, and take it home if you love it!

-
How to use a variety of sewing machine features
-
Tips and tricks for specialty presser feet and accessories
