    Bernina Accessory of the month

    For decorative circles and semicircles -Can be used for different diameters -Use with utility, decorative stitches or alphabets -Also suitable for appliquéing ribbons -For 5.5 mm and 9 mm machines

    The attachment is screwed to the freearm. The center of rotation can be either to the right or left of the needle, with the attaching screw lying flat enough to allow the fabric to feed smoothly over it. A diameter of between 1 inch and 5-5/16 inches (2.5 cm and 13.5 cm) can be set on the slide.

    The fabric must be properly reinforced for circular embroidery, so 2-3 layers of stabilizer should be placed under your project. The fabric is put onto the pin at the center of the desired circle and held in place with a rubber cap to prevent shifting during sewing. The Circular Embroidery Attachment can be used in conjunction with various presser feet, and will enable you to sew circles with any decorative stitches you wish, and even arrange lettering in a circle.

    A few reminders and things we would like to put out for everyone to know.

    We HIGHLY suggest you to label ALL your notions you bring to class. This helps us find the right owner to the item when left behind. We do keep everything in a bin for people who leave anything behind, but with a name on it. I know who to get ahold of and give it back to when we see you next.

    Please note that some of our class times have changed. The time on your class is when it will start. We ask you to show up early to set up and be ready for instructions to start. Casey or myself are normally here 30 minutes early before class.

    If you have any questions about any items that we put on your supply list, ask us. Some stuff may sound silly, but is needed for that project. Please bring everything needed. It will help you during class.

    Bernina Accessory of the month

    25% OFF Embroidery Foot with Clear Sole #39/39C

    Available in two versions, clear embroidery foot #39/39C works with Bernina models that have a maximum stitch width of 5.5mm and those with a maximum stitch width of 9mm.

    Presser foot #39/39C is designed for satin stitching of all types. It has a wedge-shaped thread indentation in the sole, allowing satin stitches to pass under the foot evenly without being pressed flat or building up and inhibiting the feed. Because the indentation in the sole is wider at the back of the foot, it aids in turning corners and stitching smooth curves; this is particularly helpful when sewing around applique shapes.

    Horizontal red marks on each side of the foot indicate the location of the needle and the vertical red mark on the front of the foot indicates the center of the foot also the needle center position. The small hole in the front of the foot allows a narrow cord to be guided perfectly down the center of the stitching for raised edges and corded applique.

    If you own the “Big Book Of Feet” look on page 122-124, these pages will show more options and details about #39 foot.
