Purpose of the Day

Nope — it’s far more delicious than that.

Info On Bernina Machines

I’ve heard BERNINA machines are expensive. Will anything be relevant for me?

Absolutely.
Part of what makes BERNINA special is its range — from accessible entry-level models to high-end innovations. During the event, you’ll see different machines in action and learn what makes each one unique. No need to commit — just come see what fits your style and sewing dreams.

 

Will I understand the machine demos if I’m not tech-savvy?

Yes — we’ve made sure of it.
Our demos are easy to follow, playful, and designed for sewists of all skill levels. You don’t need to be technical to appreciate the clever features — in fact, you might be surprised how intuitive they are once you see them in action.

 

What if I’m just looking — not really ready to buy a new machine yet?

Perfect — this event was made for you.
Many of our guests are in that exact position: curious, exploring, and not ready to commit. This day is your chance to ask questions, see the machines up close, and gather inspiration. If something stirs your interest, great. If not, you’ll still leave full of fondue, fun, and fresh ideas.
