Bernina Projects for a Springtime Refresh

April 25, 2023/in Bernina, Embroidery, Projects, Quilting, Sewing/by Tiffany Powell

As an authorized Bernina dealer, we’d be doing our loyal Bernina fans a disservice by forgetting to remind of a big perk that Bernina provides:

Did you know that Bernina has a WHOLE PAGE dedicated to free craft ideas and downloadable patterns? Generous and fun – what other way can you describe it?

From beginners and kids to some leveled-up experts, there’s a craft for everyone to enjoy! If you’ve got the itch to try something new, this would be a great starting place, but we’ve picked out a couple of our favorite Bernina projects from each skill-level! We hope you have fun with these Bernina projects!

Beginners:

Jeans Pen Holder

The perfect starter project for children who have shown interest in sewing! Make it a special bonding time as you work through this environment and budget-friendly activity! You won’t need a whole lot of notions, you can use fabric from ripped or stained jeans for a new life, and the instructions don’t require elaborate cuts and seams.

Find the Jeans Pen Holder design here!

Easter Table Runner

An embroidery Bernina project of a table runner that says "Happy Easter" with a picture of a bunny.

Even though the holiday has past, in such a joyful season filled with soft pastels, adorable baby animals, and family get-togethers that have food and fun festivities galore, a nice, homemade table runner is just the touch you need to spruce up your dé cor all spring long! Use any photo of a rabbit you’d like to make it as cute and personal as possible!

Find the Easter Table Runner design here!

Intermediate:

Bee Coin Purse

A Bernina project of a coin purse that has a bee on it and says "Bee Creative."

Talk about cute! Even if a buzz in your ear might send your hand swatting, we promise this cute as can “bee” coin purse is out here to save your loose change and bring an extra element of spring-time aesthetic to your real purse, your center console, your bedroom, and anywhere else you might want to keep it!

Find the Bee Coin Purse pattern here!

Kaffe Fassett Colorful, Round Zipper Bag

He’s done it again! Check out this charmingly functional, extraordinarily unique little round zipper bag that can hold loose fabric, snacks, notions, overnight clothes, blankets – anything you want it to! Not to mention the customizable nature of it that uses a lot of smaller pieces of fabric; use it to clean out those stores or as an excuse to buy more!

Find the Kaffe Fassett Round Zipper Bag design here!

Advanced:

Reversible Bomber Jacket

Roll out for your springtime outings in a cool, reversible bomber jacker! All the style now, how great will it be to be making one jacket with two different patterns as a completion for countless outfit combinations? Put as much color, pattern, and flair into it that fits, because this is sure to be a unique piece in your closet!

Find the Reversible Bomber Jacket design here!

Origami Tunic

The perfect spring outfit – especially if you or someone you know is into the cottage-core aesthetic with muted earth tones and a natural ambience. Or, change it up and make it bright! The best thing about clothing projects is that you can use any fabric as a substitute, so follow your heart and decorate as you want!

Find the Origami Tunic design here!

We hope you enjoyed all of these Bernina projects!

QUILT QUARTERS

“If you are looking for a good quilting machine, go talk to Tiffany at Quilt Quarters. I purchased a Bernina Q16 machine last March from her. In 5 months I learned so much about free motion quilting. Today I shared with her and the staff my first king sized quilt. They were so kind and encouraging. What fun! It is nice to have the people who work at the store point at the fabric and say, ‘Oh, I remember that fabric.’ Every time I go into the store there is a warm welcome and people are always willing to help me find fabric. I have never felt pressured to purchase or to hurry my decision. And the selection of beautiful fabric is lovely. So thank you to the owner and the people working so hard to serve us all well!”
– Donna Matlik

“Great selection of good, affordable machines. Love the personal service and that I can go in and try a machine before buying it. This helps me know if this machine feels right or wrong for me and my skill level. After you buy a machine, they also allow you to set up a one on one class to learn, master your machine and it’s settings. You may pay more than a big box sewing machine but you can’t try them before buying and sales are usually final and there’s a difference. I have both which is what led me into sewing authority. Highly recommend them.”

QUILT QUARTERS

“Excellent staff. My wife purchased a new Bernina (Horn) quilt sewing cabinet from them in December. When it came in they promptly notified us and scheduled a delivery. The people that delivered the huge and heavy cabinet was Erich Sunde and his partner. They came a few minutes early, carried it to the basement and had it set up and running within minutes. Very pleasant and respectful folks. Overall, the whole experience was very satisfying and this should be the model for other businesses to follow.”
– Jim Taul

SEWING & VACUUM AUTHORITY

“The ladies working at the Clarksville store are tremendous! Bev, Julie, Rosemary, Sarah and Samantha are always smiling and friendly, ready and willing to help with any question or problem I may have, and gladly share quilting tips and techniques. As a fairly novice quilter, I so appreciate each of them. Clarksville is where I bought my sewing machine and almost all the fabrics I’ve used so far.”
– Rebecca Halsall

QUILT QUARTERS

“I was looking for a Bernina, Quilt Quarters is the closest Bernina dealer to my house, and the place is wonderful. I went in looking for a B535, I took a B570 QE Kaffe home with me with the embroidery module and the luggage for both! They had both machines and the luggage in stock! I couldn’t pass up the black friday deal, lol. It was very quick and painless, I used my Bernina credit card for a nice long 60-month interest free financing (also a black friday only deal direct from Bernina.) The 570 is such a joy to use. I have no complaints about the machine or the customer service. It was a very pleasant experience. Tiffany is awesome and very helpful, very happy.”

“My local dealer wanted $750-800. and were going to ship it to Chicago for repair. It would take 6-8 weeks.I took my Bernina 880 here because it would no longer self thread. They fixed it in less than 2 weeks for only $125.00. Also found out that they are MUCH cheaper for supplies, material, thread, etc. than my local dealer. This is the place for all sewing machine repair as well as a great place to shop. While talking to them we inquired about some local restaurants. They steered us right. Food was great. It was well worth the 2 hour drive. They also have a GREAT assortment of new and used vacuums for sale.”
