Dear Friends,
We are off to Viking Convention and Bernina University and are we
excited! We will have all kinds of great new ideas, new techniques,
new projects and products we know you’ll love. We’ll be introducing
them over the next couple of months and hope you’ll come in to see
everything new we’ve got to offer.
We know how busy the upcoming months can be, and we’re planning our
class schedule with you in mind. Most of our classes meet just one
time, which we hope will be easy to plan around vacations and summer
activities. Take a look at the following pages to see what tickles
your fancy. Remember too, that we sometimes add classes after the
newsletter is published, so you’ll want to visit our website to see
what we’ve got cookin’!
Our Quilt of the Month projects have been met with lots enthusiasm!
Our shoe-makers elves are busy pre-cutting everything while you
sleep, so you can pick up a kit and just go home and sew. We’ve got
our best "fabric ladies" picking out the fabrics and making the
samples - we think all of them are real winners - and no cutting!
We’ll continue to introduce a new project each month. Free demo
sessions are planned each month for the 1st Thursday from 10:00 -
11:00 am, 4:30 - 5:30 pm, and the 1st Saturday morning, 10:00 -
11:00 am to guide you in construction if you need help. There’s no
membership necessary, you can take advantage of as many or as few as
you’d like - come on in and take a look, just keep in mind the
quantities are limited, so the early birds get the worms!
Hope to see you soon, The Viking Sewing Center Staff

Second, it is our mission to
provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested
individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of
children.
Project Linus has 406 chapters representing all 50 United
States. As a result of the combined efforts of these dedicated "blanketeers,"
over 2,210.100 blankets have been donated to children in crisis
since its formation in December of 1995.
Blanket Tips and Sizes:
All Blankets must be new and homemade.

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! |
