CREATIVE QUILTING “Free-Motion—Every Way”
Curious about free-motion quilting but not sure where to start? Join us for this exciting hands-on Round Robin event where you'll experience a variety of free-motion quilting techniques while trying some of BERNINA's most impressive quilting machines and accessories.
Working on a series of quilting stations, you'll explore different quilting styles and learn how the right tools can make quilting easier, more accurate, and more enjoyable. From beginner-friendly stippling to more advanced decorative techniques, you'll gain confidence and inspiration for your next quilting project.
You'll have the opportunity to quilt on several BERNINA machines, including the BERNINA 770 PRO and the BERNINA Longarm/ hoop frame while learning how the BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR) helps create beautifully consistent stitches.
By the end of the session, you'll have created a quilted sample that can be finished into a handy storage pouch to take home.
Whether you've always wondered what makes BERNINA quilting so special or you're considering a new quilting machine, this is the perfect opportunity to experience it for yourself.
