Advent Calendar 2024 – the 24th door

Dear readers,

The year 2024 is drawing to a close, and it has been a magical year! Under the motto “Create your Magic”, we celebrated the launch of the new BERNINA 990 at BERNINA. The blog was also covered in magical glitter dust. New instructions every day encouraged you to create your very own magic pieces with your sewing machine, fabric and thread.

Finally, and as a thank you for your loyalty as readers, there is a prize draw today with great prizes.

You can find all the information below. But first, let’s take a look at what the Füssli family is up to. As you probably know, there’s a trio of sewing feet in Steckborn, Switzerland who are very busy at Christmas time. What happens after work in Steckborn? 🤔 We were on site with a camera and discovered something amazing: The sewing feet work night shifts! Always accompanied by their faithful friend, the pincushion, of course.

The new Christmas video from BERNINA

Or is the pincushion a girlfriend? Our new video raises questions about this. Some things remain in the dark. See for yourself:

One thing is certain: The little sewing feet are technically gifted and passionate about their work. When everything is asleep in Steckborn, they work hard and give our products heart and soul 💕.

Have you watched the video to the end? Then you now know how the “Quality Control” stamp came to be on your BERNINA certificate. 😊

Share the video on social media!

Perhaps you would like to share the Christmas video on Instagram or Whatsapp or other channels? You are very welcome to do so. The more people find out about the secret activities of our little feet, the better.

We are happy to provide you with the video as an MP4 file. Under the following links you can download the video in two versions, one in full length, one shortened to 60 seconds:

Christmas raffle

To round off the year, we would like to enchant you once more: You can win magical gifts! We are giving away three sets of a sparkling BERNINA Christmas ornament, a USB-stick shaped like BERNINA machines, a BERNINA accessory pouch and a mug of the B 990 which inspired the motto “Create your Magic” of this years Advent Calendar. 

But the magic does not stop here. We are also giving away a bernette 38! The b 38 offers all fuctions a sewist needs to realize their projects. The automatic thread cutter, adjustable presser foot pressure and 394 different stitches are invaluable to achieve great results, even with stretchy fabrics.
