Classes
With every machine purchase at 
classes are offered so that you can “master” all that your machine can do for you. We feel that the more you know about your machine, the more you will enjoy your sewing experience. Our students are invited to attend My BERNINA Classes as often as they like. We understand that “reinforcement” leads to true mastery.
Our team includes talented teachers who offer classes such as beginning sewing, quilting, home decoration, crafting, garment construction, and heirloom sewing. Many of our customers have discovered that classes provide the opportunity to learn new techniques, sew without interruption, and build friendships with a diverse group of people bound together by their love of sewing. We hope you will join in on the fun!
CANCELLATION Policy on fee based classes: To receive a refund on a class you have paid for, you must notify us at least 24 hours in advance of the first session. The teacher may decide whether or not to allow a transfer to another class they are teaching. No refunds or transfers if you are a no-show to the class.
If your class is an all day class, please feel free to bring a lunch and store it in our refrigerator. Going out to eat can be fun, but takes away from your class time.
