The easiest & most achievable way to learn more about your machine! Our Foot Club is one of our most loved Bernina classes and is incredible value. By far the best $85 that you will spend all year!
These sessions are designed to help you get the most from your Bernina. The classes cover the use of specialty feet and will help demystify techniques that you never thought possible with your machine. These sessions offer so much more than just information about a foot!
Each session demonstrates the use of a foot or accessory and allows you to trial the techniques using our machines where appropriate. Learn new skills or trouble shoot issues you may be having with the techniques being covered.
We will also be available to assist you with other issues you may have during these sessions, where time permits. In situations such as this we recommend that you bring your machine with you so we can observe your technique and provide the appropriate assistance.
This is a demonstration session only, you are not required to bring your machine. Each session runs for approximately 2.5 hours.
