sions). •The blocks will be handed out at the end of each session.

BERNINA
This summer our BERNINA gals
will be attending BERNINA university. This annual trip for our
BERNINA staff proves to be educational and enlightening with
wonderful new ideas. They will
be learning new techniques in
the classes that they will be
taking as well as information on
the new products that BERNINA
will have to offer in the near
future. If you own a BERNINA
sewing machine you are welcome to join Bernice on the first
Friday of the month to learn
about the wonderful features on
your machine. At the BERNINA
club in August you will get to
hear about all of the wonderful
things that our staff has learned
while in Washington D.C. at BERNINA university. If you do not own
a BERNINA machine we invite you
to come in and take a look at
what these amazing machines can
do. Bev is here on Mondays and
Barb is here on Friday and Saturday with their time dedicated to
working with the BERNINA machines and answering any questions you might have about the
machines. If you are lucky
enough to own BERNINA software and you need classes,
Barbara teaches classes by
appointment on Fridays. Call
and set up an appointment for
a personal software lesson.
Once you purchase a machine
Bernice will give you a guide
class, one on one, to teach you
about the features on your
machine. BERNINA makes a
quality machine that we are
very proud to sell. Watch in
store for special promotions
for not only pricing but financing as well.

class fees,

Store Policy–
Just a reminder about our store policy. You
will receive 1 yard of fabric FREE for every
$100 that you spend in our store. This is our
way of showing our appreciation to you for
shopping in our store. Spend $100
(excluding sales tax, sale items, Bernina
products, gift certificates, 1st Saturday
blocks, and class fees.) After you have
accumulated $100 or more you may redeem
your dollars for fabric. Free fabric will be
distributed in increments of 25 with a one
yard minimum cut. (for example: spend $125
and receive 1 1/4 yards of fabric of your
choice) Any yardage under 2 yards must be
cut from the same bolt. You may choose
from any fabric in the store except Minkee,
extra wide backing or "Heart of the San
Joaquin Valley" for your free fabric.
We will track your sales in our computer. At
any time you can check to see what your
accumulation is and redeem your fabric. It
is your responsibility to inquire about your
accumulation.
