Bernina District
Dealer of the Year!
| We've come a long way... |
|
 |
| |
|
 |
It all started with Dale Houghtaling
and a van. He traveled to sell and repair sewing
machines out of his vehicle.
Our first store front was at Huron and Main in
Ann Arbor. That building burned down in the early
70’s, and we relocated just down the street, to
South Main. |
|
| |
|
 |
| In 1989 we moved to our present
location on Jackson Road. Kris started working for
his dad in 1981, and became part owner in 1996 when
Dale passed away. In 2004, Kris and Doni became sole
owners of the business, and started remodeling the
building in 2005. |
And now, we’re pleased to announce
some more progress! We’ve changed our logo and our
business name to Ann Arbor Sewing and Quilting
Center. We feel that this better describes our
broadening scope. Because you are receiving this
newsletter, you already know that we offer much,
much more than just Husqvarna Viking machines.
Almost once a week, we hear “I didn’t know you had
fabric”, “I didn’t know you sold cabinets”, “I
didn’t know you carried thread”, “I didn’t know you
carried Berninas”, “I thought you had to have a
Viking to take classes here”. As you may have
noticed, we have been using the tag line “We’re Ann
Arbor’s Sewing Center” for approximately 2 years in
preparation for this name change. All of the loyal
Viking customers, please do not be alarmed. We will
continue to carry the full line of Husqvarna Viking
sewing machines, Sergers and Accessories.
Only our name is changing, not our store. |

Bernina Stitch Regulator is
revolutionizing
Free Motion Quilting!
The Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) allows you to
master in minutes what used to require hours of practice.
Consistent free-motion stitching is now easier than ever
thanks to this patented Bernina innovation.
What is BSR?
The BERNINA ® Stitch Regulator allows you to use a
"Straight Stitch" for free motion quilting, thread painting,bobbinwork, quilting, freehand appliqué, double needle,
shadow work, raw-edge appliqué, Battenburg lace"Zigzag Stitch" for thread painting, freehand appliqué,
raw-edge appliqué, Battenburg lace.
The BSR has two Modes of Operation which can be used
with or without the foot control:
"Mode 1" needle stitches continuously; when fabric is at rest,
needle keeps moving up and down very slowly. If stitching in place
is desired, such as for free motion embroidery,
select Mode 1.
"Mode 2" needle stitches only when the fabric is moved;
when fabric is at rest, no stitches are taken and the needle
comes
to a complete stop. |
The Bernina Stitch Regulator is available on
several BERNINA models - come in for a test drive today!
