Hello, Everyone!

I am so pleased to have the opportunity to talk to you about the excitement the 8 Series launch has created here at our BERNINA consumer event. It was such a proud moment when after six years of development, we were finally able to reveal this incredible machine and share its features with the world.  The engineers and developers in the BERNINA factory in Steckborn Switzerland have worked countess hours to create a big, beautiful BERNINA - spacious and comfortable, speedy and full of benefits that will make the creative sewers world more enjoyable and more efficient… that nothing compares to the feeling of its debut.

And now, you too can experience all the precision and exclusive features the 830 has to offer here on bernina8series.com. This enlightening and interactive website provides everything you will want to know about the 8 Series, including videos that illustrate its outstanding space, unsurpassed speed and ergonomic genius.

So go ahead and check out the machine that has changed the history of sewing. We hope it inspires you as much as it has everyone here at BERNINA.

Talk to you soon! And remember to keep checking back for more entries and details on the magnificent 8 Series.

Ever wonder what to do with all those little bits & pieces of leftover ribbon, trim, buttons, etc. that are just too nice to throw away? Here's a project from Susan Beck, Executive Editor at BERNINA of America, Inc., featuring four different notecard designs that you can stitch on your sewing machine. BERNINA's updated Button Sew-On Foot #18 with its "sticky" rubber sole grips buttons and keeps them from slipping as they're stitched to your project.
