Mastering Classes: Winter 2009

If you purchased your sewing/embroidery/software/serger from Bernina Northwest, mastering classes are FREE. Our classes are taught by Bernina Certified instructors and will familiarize you with your machine or software.

If you purchased your machine or software from a dealer other than Bernina Northwest, you are welcome to attend our Mastering series classes at no cost as long as the machine is still part of the current Bernina line.

Bernina's series of Mastery workbooks will be with you through every step of your instructional class ... and beyond. Available on our Web site (click here to download) or on CD in the store. You will find them to be an invaluable asset as you truly master your Bernina.
