CURRENT PROMOTIONS

ONE OF THESE MACHINES WOULD BE THE PERFECT GIFT TO FIND UNDER THE TREE - AND NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO TELL SANTA WHICH MODEL IS ON YOUR LIST.

THIS OFFER ALSO APPLIES TO THE ANNIVERSARY EDITIONS!

BERNINA IS NOW SOLD OUT OF THEIR ANNIVERSARY MODELS

We have one 880 Anniversary Edition, and one 790 Anniversary Edition in our store. Don't delay if you have your eye on one of these models, and the great gift package that it comes with.

Swiss engineering and an all metal frame go into this lightweight, entry-level machine, which guarantees that your love of sewing will be passed down for generations. Shop Cortez Quilt and More for affordable quality rather than the frustration and disposability found at big box stores.

ACCESSORIES OF THE MONTH

The Multiple spool holder can be mounted almost effortlessly on a wide range of sewing machines, and can also be switched between two machines with the greatest of ease. The holder has room for up to 15 spools, enabling quick access to threads of different colors. If need be, removing individual spool pins from the multiple spool holder creates room for larger spools as well as thread cones, enabling you to execute your sewing, embroidery and quilting projects more efficiently.

Quick access to a wide range of spools of different colors is a real time saver when working on multicolored embroidery designs.

Also, the multiple spool holder’s telescopic thread guide can be adjusted upwards: the thread has a longer path to the needle, allowing difficult threads like metallics to untangle and flow freely before they reach the start of the sewing process.

COME BY THE STORE TO CHECK OUT THE PREVIOUSLY LOVED MACHINES THAT WE HAVE FOR SALE!

This B880 sewing machine comes with the embroidery module, and was traded in during the Trade Up Promotion. This machine is considered the "ultimate for sewing,embroidery, and quilting. This very top of the line machine offers fully automatic threading and total stitch control. There is no limit to what you can create with this machine. Originally $14,999, the special pricing on this machine is $9000. We provide a one year warranty and mastery classes for all of our previously owned machines.

This B780 was also traded in as the owner upgraded to a brand new 880. This machine comes with an embroidery module, the BERNINA stitch regulator, and is packed with features. Specially priced at $4,500. We provide a one year warranty and mastery classes for all of our previously owned machines.

This B710 has been back in the classroom of Cortez Quilt Company and More, and has stitched a lot of the beautiful projects found in the store. It is time for us to upgrade, so we are offering this machine at the special price of $3,000. We provide a one year warranty and mastery classes for all of our previously owned machines.

If you are looking for a workhorse - this machine is for you! This machine has all the BERNINA qualities that people have come to love. Priced at $400 - this machine is ready to come create whatever project you have in mind.

We also have the above set on clearance. This trolley bag is perfect for the retired 5 series machines, or any model of the 2 or 3 Series. These bags can come as a pair, or they can be split up. Both are brand new merchandise.

NEW FABRIC

We have strip packs, 10" squares, and 5" squares of these fun and colorful ombre fabrics.

NEW PROJECTS

We revealed this fun panel a short time ago. You will definitely want to come in and personally check out what an amazing wall hanging Shanna Stordahl created. She used several techniques: thread painting, couching, trapunto, and free motion quilting. These cute giraffes come to life and would be adorable next time you need a quilt for a little person.

Are you still needing a Christmas present for someone special in your life? We have these chicken panels in stock that are for making placemats. Just add a border, quilt and bind... and you can quickly have a set of placemats that will be dearly loved for years to come.
