The secret skills of BERNINA presser feet and a final raffle

Dear BERNINA Blog Readers,

I wish you a wonderful Christmas. Enjoy the time with your loved ones – not only today, but as often as possible – and have a great start into 2022!

We hope that you will continue visiting the BERNINA blog in the new year. As a thank You for your loyalty, we are holding a raffle today with great prizes. You will find the information further down in the article. Good luck!

The secret skills of BERNINA presser feet

First a quick excursion. Do you remember last year’s BERNINA Christmas video? After an intense year of work, our sewing feet took a break at the end of 2020, slipped out of the sewing room and went on winter vacation. We could well understand that, because 2020 was exhausting for everyone.

The conclusion of our feet: A short rest is simply good for you! That’s why they are treating themselves to a break this year, too. They left the studio on quiet soles and entered a Christmas bakery near Steckborn. Always with them: their faithful companion, the pincushion.

What mischief are the little guys up to between the cake tray and the rolling pin?

Coincidentally, a camera was there and recorded everything. Take a look at it:

The secret skills of our presser feet surprise us again and again!

And how was your year – do you also need a short break? I am happy to see you here and taking a few minutes to read this article. Maybe the BERNINA blog is for you what the Christmas bakery is for our presser feet: a special place where you can forget everyday worries for a moment, get to know new things with friends and family, recharge your creative batteries, and have some fun. I would be happy if you feel the same way.

Spread joy!

Would you like to share the Christmas video on Instagram or Whatsapp or other channels and help us spread a little humour and harmless mischief in the sometimes too serious world?

    The Bernina Blog is fantastic! I love that there is such a fabulous variety of projects to inspire and educate us.  It shows us that there are so many wonderful things we can create, and helps us to see the endless possibilities of what we can achieve with our beautiful machines and accessories. The Christmas videos starring the magnificent feet that all Bernina owners love so much are truly remarkable!

    Hi, I bought my Bernina 790 plus limited edition Peacock  this year, I have been enjoying learning new skills, with the embroidery module. Loving my Bernina it’s the best sewing machine I’ve owned and though my lifetime I’ve owned a few. Being new to the Bernina I find the blogs and information on Bernina site very useful and I am looking forward to using my new ma nine to its full potential.

     Hi Bernina, as a relatively new sewist I enjoy the content here and often find inspiration and useful advice. I have a relatively simple machine (a B335) but appreciate that most of the ideas can be transferred to my machine with the obvious exception of embroidery.I find difficult is pulling together the different brands of Bernina content across the internet. Couldn’t this blog be a central resource that links to content in other social media – I accept we don’t want mindless repetition across all Bernina sites. But some content deserves wider exposure. For example, Bernina USA has some excellent content on their instagram feed and Sylvain Bergeron’s recent post on hemmer feet explained so much and broadened my understanding.

    The BERNINA Blog is a wealth of helpful information and inspiration. As the grateful owner of a Bernina 930 Record, the blog has more tips, tricks and ideas for sewing on my much loved Bernina… assisting me in creating handmade items for those I love by learning proper and helpful techniques for the individual presser feet. I thoroughly enjoy the BERNINA Blog!

    I’ve decided to do far more online with Bernina this year. Friends in my quilt group which is a total of 130 people often don’t know what Bernina provides like the wonderful mastery lessons etc. I want to try and get some of us together to encourage each other and make friends at the same time. Any other ideas would be appreciated.CV

    I live on The Isle of Man and since the Covid Pandemic I have felt quite isolated from the rest of the world in that travel restrictions have made it difficult to visit the places I would usually visit which include annual sewing shows and international shops.  I have however discovered the Bernina Blog which has kept me up to date and in touch with the whole world of Bernina and all the wonderful bloggers and seeing their masterpieces they seem to just come up with all the time, it has given me a lot of inspiration and encouragement.  I have owned my Bernina 790 plus now for nearly 2 years and I love it – my sewing seems to have gone from strength to strength – Thank you Bernina.

    The first thing I look for when I sit at my computer is anything from the Bernina blog!  Sometimes I am envious of those who have more than 1 machine but I really love my 570QE and I only have room for one anyway!  I am currently making the Old Block Sampler challenge quilt and have just finished the Mariner’s Compass.  All the quilts I make are pieced and quilted on my Bernina.  I would like to do more with the embroidery module but am not very confident.  Perhaps more tutorials?  Thank you for all the inspiring articles.

    I love the blog and all the great ideas you post. You have a very talented crew. The video was too, too cute! I would love to see these adorable little feet decorate a tree with ornaments that could light up at the end and spell Bernina or something along those lines.

    Bernina!! The very best machine ever. Blog is great. Story for you:  my aunt, aged 93, has had a Bernina for 67 years. When contemplating the purchase of my 770 QE I asked her if she thot it was a good name in sewing machines. Her response? “IS THERE ANY OTHER KIND??” Of course we both knew the answer but this is a family that loves Bernina! She also said she has NEVER had her Bernina serviced ( horrors – in over 65 years!!) but this longevity is part of the Bernina family love affair. Keep up the great work all!

Bernina is so reliable and responsive to any needs or questions I have. That makes me a loyal customer. Thank you for everything.

    I love Bernina as a company and a fellowship.  Throughout this time of forced isolation I have come to depend on the Bernina Blogs to lighten my day, inspire my creativity and provide me with a sense of community.  As others share their projects I feel surrounded by hope and take pride in the success they achieve.  The Bernina brand is truly one of community and inclusion.  Thank you to all who have participated.

    The blog is very important to any Bernina sewer, it keeps you up to date on what’s going on and gives you inspiration on what you can sew. Love the sewing projects, like that you get a little bit for everyone. the quilting blocks were fantastic. Could do with more inspiration on how you can use the feet, think that would be good. keep up the good work. Gwendoline

    I have been sewing for 60 years.  Learned on my Mom’s old Singer.  Have used several different machines since then but love my Bernina 770QE the best.  It does so many things and has so many feet.  It will take another few years before I learn all that my machine can do.Thank you to Triangle Sewing in Guelph Ontario and Adrienne Gallagher from Bernina Canada for helping me get to know my machine, running helpful classes and answering all my questions.

    I recently passed down my 25 year old Bernina to my daughter who is learning to sew.  I love sharing this blog with her, opening up the world of Bernina to her.  We will be making the free standing lace earrings on my 790+ further inspiring her to learn and grow beyond the basics.  I’m thankful for my LQS that sold me my first Bernina 25+ years ago.

    I’ve only recently joined, but I love the fun attitude. I will be her permanently now. I live on my own and this is just wonderful to be able to connect to so many people.for next years video, perhaps you could have different sized needles sewing their own weight of fabric. they can be running around looking for their cloth/fabric, obviously excited as they are dressing to go to a party. You know how ladies are, trying this one and no I must have different dress etc.

    As a 13 year old i used my old  no name machine until it ran like a train.  In college I was introduced to Bernina.  After my 5th child my husband bought me a  used Bernina 830.  I was so happy I was afraid we would wreck on the way home and something would happen to it.  Now I have been married 42 years and was able to purchase the Bernina 770QE.  I am in love with it.

    I most love the blog for the motivation it gives me! I’m 65 years of age and raised 3 sons. The blog helps me to see what my young DILs would love to have! I’m not a shopper, so it’s a win win for me, I get to sew and they get beautiful gifts! I would enjoy more posts on the punch kit – I bought one and after 3 years have not used it yet! I have a 430 and the 880. One day I hope to upgrade the 880.

    I am a big Bernina fan.  I love my Bernina Q570 and when I was fortunate to be gifted the embroidery module for my machine, I started looking at the Bernina blog.  I’ve learned many tricks and found out about many things that I didn’t know about as I hadn’t found it out on my own.  I value the blog because of it’s informative and instructional content.  Thank you for Bernina – for it’s fantastic quality and versatility. And thanks for the blog as it is the teaching tool that I’ve learned by.

    Wishing everyone happy holidays and a happy new year. I too am new to Bernina, but getting my 770 QE has been the best sewing decision.  Two of my favourite feet are the jean and walking feet. I have caught up on many projects in 2021 with the amazing help of my new Bernina.  My sister-in-law was visiting. She was a very experienced sewer before she had a stroke, which also affected her speech.  She took one look at my Bernina and said “the best, the best”. That just says it all about Bernina. Love my Bernina and would love have these feet in my ‘tool box’s. Best to everyone.

    Bernina is the only machine.  It sews everything.  I make hand bags and it never let’s me down.  I use foot 10d for stitching around the top of my  bags…makes  my sewing look so professional…people are amazed at how straight my sewing is!

    I am a relatively new Bernina owner, and I know that my machine will do so much more than what I use if for. Now that I’m settled into my new sewing room, I’m hoping to expand my knowledge and skills related to my Bernina – including the functions and use of the many feet that are available for the Bernina and the embroidery unit (which I have never used). In 2022, I am looking forward to learning more from the Blog, only recently discovered, along with the various available YouTube videos. Thanks for the wonderfully informative and fun blog. It’s always a good read!

    I’ve owned a couple of Bernini’s, over 15 years in total but only discovered the blog this year. I’ve started the old block quilt along and am enjoying doing it. Perhaps some articles on the different feet would be good, highlighting one foot and giving a project using it.

    This is a great blog! I love your YouTube video showing off the skills of your wonderfully dressed presser feet. Your blog is quite informative and inspirational. The pictures are very well composed and I love the crystals. Next year, 2022 will hopefully be a much more fun one than 2021. I’d love to see something in this space for Easter! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all.

    The blog inspires me to be more creative! I’ve been using a “no waste” policy and am eager to repurpose fabric from already owned garments.  I really liked the article on turning a man’s shirt into a drawstring bag!

    The Bernina Blog is a great place to find hints, tips, inspiration and a relaxed atmosphere to inhale all things Bernina.  Feet up relaxing with a cup of tea to read it or snatching sentences here and there when I can, it’s a place to go to recharge my mind.

    I’m new to this blog but am so inspired to give my Bernina some care and attention and do a little sewing before the end of 2021.  A family Christmas has been cancelled so I have days ahead with no plans, except now I am excited to think about what I can make.  I will be looking back for ideas and looking ahead to 2022 with excitement for sewing, thank you and a very Happy Christmas to all x
