BERNINA Sewing Machine Mastery Class



This class will meet in the  RainTree Classrom 11-5 on Saturdays. There will be a lunch break and you have 4 restaurants to chose from on site.

This class is open to all individuals who purchased their BERNINA at RainTree.  It is especially geared towards new owners.  We will be teaching on current models.  Stop in to register or register online.  Be sure to tell the clerk which machine you own.  If you register online please include your machine model in the notes section.  Also, we MUST have your phone number and email information as the instructor often needs to contact you prior to the class if changes occur. 

You will need The BERNINA Sewing Machine Mastery Kit and BERNINA Mastery Workbook:  The workbook is available under the "learning" tab on the BERNINA website or click the link below.  The workbook is an amazing resource. We advise that you print it in color and insert the pages into sheet protectors.  Use a binder to hold these "protected" pages.  During the class you will be placing your sewn samples in the sheet protectors with their corresponding set of instructions.  When you complete your workbook, you will have a permanent resource to assist you in the successful use of your  machine.  The ...Mastery Kit can be purchased at RainTree.  Or, you can study the pages and create your own kit.  If you choose to create your own kit, please have it completely ready prior to class.

If you have a portable device such as a tablet or smart phone, download the workbook on that device too.  Most of the "books" have video links that will serve as an amazing resource to you.

1. to have your machine set up.  Please plug your machine into a power surge protector or UPS battery back up.
