Make this beautiful 19″ x 42″ table runner in a Friday class with Judy Bryan as your teacher. The pattern is from Southwind Designs and features curves that are made by gently turning fabric back at the very end of the piecing process and top-stitching it down. Very easy once you know the technique.

Beyond Beginning is a special sewing day for anyone who has taken Beginning Quilting at Cortez Quilt Company. We’ll help you choose a pattern for a lap-size quilt and work with you as you get it well underway (then finish at home). This class will refresh your memory and boost your confidence. Karen Childress is your guide.

One Used Machine Available

Thanks and congratulations to everyone who took home new sewing machines during the Spring BERNINA sale. We had a great response to this event and we so appreciate you supporting us!

We now have ONE gently used 350PE available. This machine was originally purchased in October and the customer traded up to an embroidery machine during the sale last week. If you've been thinking about a smaller BERNINA, claim this one today at a great price. It's been well cared for and our techs will give it a good cleaning before it goes to a new home.
