Todd and I had a fabulous time out in Chicago attending BERNINA University.

Here are the Highlights!

We loved the view of Lake Michigan from our room.

Chicago is also beautiful at night, with all of the twinkling lights.

Bernette Funlock 48

The bernette 48 is the top model of the Funlock series and is a combination of an overlocker and a coverstitch machine. It has a total of 23 stitches: 15 overlock stitches, 3 coverstitches, 4 combo stitches and 1 chain stitch, overlock stitches with a stitch width of up to 7 mm, coverstitches with stitch widths of 2.8 or 5.6 mm and combo stitches with a stitch width of up to 10 mm.

Hanspeter Ueltschi gave many motivational and inspiring talks during the convention. We really appreciate that the Ueltshci's and BERNINA are focused on family,their employees/dealers and their customers.

Ricky Tims was the main entertainment at the Awards Banquet, even though he has 2 homes in the Spring Fire/La Veta Colorado area. Not only is he an amazing quilter, he is an accomplished musician.

This quote from Tiffany Pratt sums up the whole event!
