Bits and Pieces

July 16, 2024

This has been quite a week. It goes without saying that our prayers go with the man and his family that was nearly assassinated and the man who was assassinated, as well as those who were injured during a political rally. Like you, I imagine, my emotions are in a whirl and at all ends of the spectrum because of what has happened, but violence is never the correct response to an emotional whirlwind. I am at a loss for words, and so I will move on to much better things, and hope and pray for the violence to stop.  

Now, thanks to all of you who attended SEW SMART and learned so much about the new B 990. IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!! You must come in and see it, and let us show you some of the features. One thing I want to make clear: this is NOT just an upgrade of the B 880. THIS IS A TOTALLY NEW DESIGNED MACHINE, BEGINNING TO END! There is nothing like it or comparable to in in the marketplace, and that includes our own BERNINA machines. This is our brand new baby, and was 12 years in the making, brand new technology, brand new unique features, new size, and so much more. So if the Top Of The Line is a feature that excites you, you need to see the 990, because it far supersedes the now production-discontinued 8 series model. BERNINA will continue to support in parts and maintenance the 8 series, and we have in stock one gently used and one brand new 880 top of the line for the 8 series, but there will be no more updates or changes to this machine for you. Everything new has gone into the B 990. Plus, the B 790 Pro, new last year, was able to gain some of the features from the 880 Series of machines. If it’s technology that you seek, but the 990 just isn’t in your wheelhouse at this time, consider the B 790 Pro and its advanced feature selections, and you can still be happy!!!

We are featuring bundle packages for you with the B 990 purchase, so please come in and have a conversation with us about what all we are able to offer and do for you. We are scheduling private conversations with you and maybe hubby, to ensure that with this large of a purchase, we are able to meet many of your needs and wants, on an individual, one-on-one basis. Rest assured that these will be sizable bundle packages for you, like a sewing table for your 990, perhaps a smaller classroom machine, a serger, ……let’s talk, because there’s a lot to talk about!

One last thing to mention: if you are having eye problems and think that sewing (which you so dearly LOVE!!!) may become a problem for you with a traditional machine, come and talk with us about whether we can help you, offering you new hope for your continued sewing. Remember that new technology can often do marvelous things for us, and this could be one of those times. I believe it is!

The classroom will be designated as Private for a Private sewing group this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But Monday, July 22-25, you can come and participate with the Sew Sisters for a Christmas Camp. Marilyn is heading this up for you, and we’d love to have a full classroom!!! Come one day, or every day, start a new project or learn a new project from Marilyn, or work on an existing project of your own. You have all the choices, and all the balls are in your court. Just choose what you want to do with them, and get sewing with the sisters here. It’s a fun group, generally a noisy and laughing group, and if this sounds good to you, come sign up and join in. There will be many things/projects to choose from, gifts to make, wishes to be met, fun to be had. All that could be missing is YOU. Join us…..

Mr. Murfee says hi to you all, and he wants you to know he’s doing well. He’s busy growing feathers on his beautiful red Irish coat, and I’m busy brushing him so that we can keep the hair mats to a minimum. He won’t get in the pool, but he has no problem doing a long stretch to drink from the pool. I keep waiting for him to fall in, but so far, he stays high and dry. Katie, the older Irish/golden, loves to swim, but only from the second step. She’ll walk from one side of the step to the other side, the water covers her feathers for only half-way up her side, and she stays cool in the pool. Thought about getting them both some cute sunglasses, but decided that was a waste of time and money. And they spend most of their time indoors anyway. Must be why they call it the Dog Days of Summer. We should all be so lucky! We’ve only had one snake in the yard so far this year, and Murfee handled things well by keeping his distance, pointing to the snake, and barking a different kind of bark to make me aware. The other kids all stayed away, and it was “Mom to the rescue!”.  And all was well and went back to normal.

Since Christmas Camp is coming up, let’s honor it with all Christmas fabrics 25% off MSRP. This should get you a good start on our camp, your other projects and gifts. We keep Christmas fabrics on the shelves all year round, but more keep coming in to fill any gaps. Feel free to shop with us online, and take advantage of the sale by giving us the code: HOLIDAY25. This is the time to build your stash and save money at the same time! What a wonderful world we live in, right!!!  Hope to see you and hear from you soon. Come see the magical B 990!!!!! We’re all very proud of her….
