Hi Everyone!
Thanks to you, The Bobbin Case, Inc. is celebrating its 16th anniversary this month and is starting its 17th year. Needless to say, if it were not for the support which you have given us, we would not have achieved this milestone. MANY, MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.
Sixteen years ago there is no way I could have predicted we would have the Bernina machines which we have today. I certainly did not think that we would be downloading designs off of something called the internet and sending those designs to our machines to make beautiful embroidery designs. Yes, there have been many changes to the ways in which we create things.
I would like to invite you to join our first “Block of the Month Club” which will be starting in October. I know that that seems like a long time off, but I want you to get the dates down on your calendar as you will not want to miss out on the opportunity to create this “exquisite, romantic, timeless quilt that you will love and treasure” which is how Judy Merritt, the instructor, describes it. Judy is making it easy for you to create this lovely quilt as she will be offering it on two days a month-pick which day fits better into your schedule. This Block of the Month Club will meet on the second Thursday of each month or the second Saturday of each month, starting on October 8 and October 10. The pattern is “Vintage Valentine”-this is an appliquéd quilt and you will decide if you want to machine appliqué it or use the needle turn method of appliqué. There is a one time registration fee of $25 (non refundable) but after that the monthly sessions will only be $17 and that covers the patterns as well as an hour of instruction. Call us for additional informational or stop in to see a picture of the quilt. I know you will want to make it-I know I hope to take the class!
Have you been in yet to try the 8 Series machines? (Yes, the820 has arrived.) We are offering (at least once a month) an
8 Series party where you have the opportunity to come and actually use the machines as you make two projects. What better way to see if you want to take one home? Call us for dates and times-space is very limited so register early.
Remember-all machine instruction and Bernina and Embroidery Club memberships are free to those who purchase their machines from The Bobbin Case, inc. Plus, we offer a variety of classes where the class fee if greatly reduced if you have purchased your Bernina/Bernette from us. We truly believe that The Bobbin Case, inc. gives you the best value for your sewing machine dollar.
Many, many thanks for your support all these years and happy, happy sewing.

We are so happy to report that the 820 machine is now available. There has been a tremendous demand for the fantastic 8 Series machines throughout the world and the factory in Switzerland has worked long and hard to fill all orders. We also have several new accessories to be used with the “8 Series” machines. There are several “Bernina dual feed” presser feet available in addition to additional feet with the new coding system.
There is a new firmware update available for the 8 Series machines. You do not have to bring in your machine for us to do the update-you can download it off of the internet and update your machine right at home. It is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes.
There is an update for the Bernina Border Calculator Program. This takes care of some “bugs” in the original version (ain’t computers grand?) and it is a free update. Call us if you have any questions as to how to find and install the update.
OESD is always providing us with new designs. There are many new design packs available in “Embroidery Take Out” in addition to several new Licensed Design Collections. Check out www.embroideryonline.com to see the new offerings. Remember that if you purchase the “ETO” design packs from us, you will save money! We are on an “auto-ship” program for the licensed designs and we offer those at a discount. Check out their latest offering-Grand Tour. It is just charming.
Have you met “Olivia”. This is the charming green (actually pistachio) sewing machine cabinet now on display. While we have been extremely happy with Horn Cabinets, we decided that we would give you the option of a lower priced cabinet line. Do stop in an look through the Arrow/Kangaroo catalog.
LAST CHANCE!
If you own a version of the Bernina Embroidery Software which uses a parallel port dongle, we strongly suggest that you update ASAP. After the arrival of Version 6 later this year you will not be able to update your current dongle. You will have to purchase a completely “new package” in order to enjoy any of the new features of the software. If you update now, you will go from your current Version (1, 2, or 3) to Version 5 for a minimal amount.
Don’t own any version of the Bernina Embroidery Software yet? Don’t wait-purchase Designer Plus V5 now! Bernina has the Designer Plus V5 on clearance now as V6 will be arriving later this year. Use your sewing machine and embroidery system to its fullest potential! The MSRP of V5 Designer Plus is $2,099 but Bernina is now offering it at the ridiculously low price of $999! Yes-that is true. Now are you asking yourself why should you buy V5 when V6 is on its way? Well-included with your purchase of V5 will be a coupon that will allow you to update to V6 at the low price of only $299! (EditorPlus is on clearance for only $499-no update coupons included)
