Bigsby’s Bernina Club

Bigsby’s Club meeting: It’s BACK, the 3rd Monday of the month, from 10:30AM – Noon! We are “sew” excited! It was great to see so many of you at club!

It’s fun to share your sewing interests with others!  This club is for owners of Bernina sewing machines, embroidery machines and sergers purchased from Bigsby’s who want to share their sewing fun.  Meetings Feature:

  • Sew and Tell by club members who want to share their sewing projects
  • What’s new in the sewing world
  • Sewing techniques, tips and project ideas

Cost: 1st year free with purchase of a BERNINA machine from Bigsby’s. We understand that COVID happened after you bought your machines in 2020…so we are giving you your free year in 2023! From May 2023 to May 2024. So if you purchased a Bernina/bernette machine from Bigsby’s between 2020 and April 2023, you will receive this year of Club free. (going forward, of course, if you purchase a Bernina/bernette machine, your first year of club is free).

We would love for you to join us for Club even if you haven’t recently purchased a Bernina Machine from Bigsby’s – the fee is $25 a year.

Club members receive a 20% discount off the regular retail price of most items on club day

Wool Club 2023

Club meeting: 3rd Thursday of the month (unless there is a conflict, then we will meet the following Thursday.) 10:30am – 12:30pm

Cost: TBD

We thought we would do something a little different with wool club this year, such as working on sand dollars, or homegrown blocks by Sue Spargo, or just bring your own already started projects to work on during the meeting while sitting in the round so we can talk and teach each other difficult stitches and share our creative talents with one another.  Everyone who has been attending in the past and everyone who is interested in learning about wool embroidery is welcome as well.

So come and join us and create with old and new friends.

HELP me embroider before I cry!

Class meeting: Call to get on the list.

Do you have embroidery projects you are not sure how to finish? Bring the project to the class and get the help you need to finish it. Bring your favorite snack to share (not required), we all need to eat while we embroider! Lunch is provided.

Cost:  $45
