HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU!!!
If you have been wanting to upgrade to a 790+ I have a steal in my possession right now. This machine was purchased at a trade show by one of our travelers and she came back here to she shop, saw the 880+ and fell in love with it and traded me the 790+ (Brand New) to upgrade! I have to sell it as a used machine! I can drop the price as low as $8K for this one machine only. It is not eligible for other offers as it was redeemed for the cabinet already!
I also have two of the 500 series machines that are going for rock bottom pricing! They are the previous generation machines and I need to move them out! The first is a 570 Quilter’s Edition meaning it comes with a BSR. The MSRP is $4,399 – Our Price $3,000! The BSR alone is worth $1K.
The second machine is the 580 with an embroidery module. The MSRP on that machine $6,799 and I have it marked down to $4,500!
Remember that the Bernina Christmas Specials still apply to my existing inventory. I have two 770 eligible for gift with purchase and one 880+!
CLASS ADDED FOR OESD TRAINING TOMORROW!!!
LEARN YOUR MACHINE (ANY BRAND!): Something for all of our friends who need a jump start getting back into sewing! This class is designed to provide basic sewing machine operation and maintenance. If you have a machine that you haven't used in a long time, or is "new to you" (inherited, purchased 2nd hand, or purchased from a source that provides no lessons), then this class may be exactly what you need. We will help you with how to thread your machine, change the needle, fill a bobbin, and show you how to clean and oil it, as well as discuss the basics of how a sewing machine functions.
Note: This class is NOT an in-depth exploration of what your machine can or cannot do, nor will we address buttonholes, decorative stitches, or zipper insertion. It is also not a course in sewing machine repair. Your machine must be running properly for you to benefit from this class. A manual for your machine will be very helpful. All machine types are welcome! Michelle Jones will be teaching.
Waterwheel (2 Day Course): Canceled to be reschedule later in the year!
QUILT EMBILLISHMENT WITH EMBROIDERY AND MACHINE APPLIQUE PROJECT STARTING! We kicked this quilt off with 5 attending! If you are interested in participating, please call us and we will get you in touch with our instructor to get you started.
OESD SCHOOL OF EMBROIDERY CLASSES: WE HAVE OPENED A SECOND CLASS TOMORROW! We no longer have “embroidery club.” We have purchased the Oklahoma School of Embroidery (OESD) certifications for our staff and are now participating in the training courses for our customers. Designs are included and not purchased separately. There may be months with kits, but we will do our best to let you use your own materials. We scheduled for the 3rd Tuesday monthly. I know that in January Barbara is teaching trapunto quilting! Picture on web site. Date this month is on 1/23 since there was a conflict with the Waterwheel class.
Michelle Jonesis teaching free motion quilting WITH rulers and WITHOUT rulers this year! Along with a BOM with rulers from the Westalee & Me training we purchased for the shop!
There is still time to get in on the Community Service Block of the Month (BOM) for 2018. We have two January packages left.
OPEN SEW DAYS W/ POT LUCK! January’s date is the 27th and we are having chili with all the fixings! I’ll need folks to bring onions, Fritos, sour cream, dessert, etc – the works for a fun day! (All dates and themes are in the classes/clubs section of the web site.)
Tuffets are January 29 & 30! If you are interested in taking the class, you need to sign up so we can get the kits ordered. We don’t have additional kits in stock.
