Bernina Guide Classes

Our software classes are done on a one-to-one basis. Please call the store to schedule your classes with Sarah. If you have a laptop you will need to bring it to class or let us know if you need to use one of ours. Software classes are in 2 hour increments and can meet up to three times depending on your level of software. You do need to have basic computer operation skills and have taken all of your embroidery guide lessons before taking the software guide classes. Thanks.

If you bought your Bernina at Stitches-n-Stuffing, your instructional classes are included with your machine purchase. However, we know many people move into the area from out of town or have gotten a Bernina handed down to them and could really use some lessons too. If your machine was not bought at Stitches-N-Stuffing, you may take any of our instructional classes for $25. per hour. Once you have taken the complete series of classes for your model of machine, then you may attend our Bernina Clubs.
