Foot Fetish … Mastering BERNINA Presser Feet
Saturday, August 10, 2019 
9:00-5:00

This class is a little play on words between an unusual fascination and an inanimate object thought to have magical powers. We find it fitting because we have an unusual fascination with the amazing capabilities presented by the selection of BERNINA presser feet. Too, we know that many of you have looked at projects that used simple presser foot techniques and thought that it was magic. Well, now we are offering our Foot Fetish class so that you can take your unusual fascination with amazing quilting ideas, and turn it into very practical daily techniques that will make others think that you can do magic with fabric! Attendees will get to sample a wide variety of feet and experience first hand all the amazing things that can be created. Call to sign up now, as space is limited!
