Our Favorite foot!The patchwork foot (#37) is perfect for straight-stitching. This is perfect for piecing your quilt top. A narrow groove under the flat sole serves as a thread channel for smooth piecing. With a small opening for the needle helps the fabric glide perfectly across the feed dogs without getting pulled down. The best part of the BERNINA original quarter-inch foot is that it will be on sale for the month of August! So if you do not have this in your collection, now is the time!

DiD you know?We all love the convenience and ease of using credit/debit cards. They have virtually eliminated the need to carry cash or write personal checks. But, with convenience comes costs. You pay one or more expenses or fees for each credit/debit card you have. Then there is a processing fee and other costs for us to run the cards. This is why we can not take a credit card for purchases under $15. Of course most credit cards now offer some type of reward program whether it be airline miles or cash back, which is why you want to use them as often as possible. Pretty cleaver marketing on the part of the banks and credit card companies, wouldn’t you say? Read the fine print about the fees associated with credit card reward programs and you will find that they are not free. Are we complaining? No, not at all. We just want you to know that we are happy to have you as a customer regardless of how you choose to pay. But, if possible, we welcome cash or personal checks. Using them will help keep our costs (and our pricing) under control, too. Plus, for larger purchases we often offer a discount for cash or check. Thank you!
