    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.

    BIG THANK YOU!!

    We want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported us during our small business Saturday sale! This year has been completely different for us as a small business and all the restriction/regulations put in place.

    Casey and I were throwing the idea of not hosting our annual sale, but knew how much you guys enjoyed it “Sew” much in the past years. With extra cleaning in place, sanitizer placed everywhere and social distancing, we decided let’s go with it! We are “Sew” glad we did too! All our customers were very understanding and had the patience to wait while Heather cleaned the counter and keypad in between customers. Casey sanitized high traffic areas more often than probably needed, but our customers and employee’s safety is number! We even had Phebe in for the day and she helped with everything as well and put smiles on our customers’ faces (we could tell under the face mask!).

    Once again, we want to say a HUGE thank you to our customers for making this another successful sale.
