Machine Mastery
These classes are offered by Quilt Quarters to new owners of Bernina sewing machines, embroidery machines, sergers and embroidery software. In the classes, the new owner will be instructed on the care & maintenance of their machine, the features and benefits of the different functions and stitches on the machine, and the availability and use of various accessories for the machines. The owner will stitch different samples of stitches available on their machines and try different functions. These classes are free to anyone who has purchased a new or used machine from Quilt Quarters. The classes are offered during the day and evening. The class dates and times are listed in our newsletter, “Needle News,” and on our website, www.quiltquarters.com. To sign up for the classes, the new owner can sign up at Quilt Quarters or call 317-844-3636.
The new owner needs to bring their machine to the class and in the case of software, the security device. In the class, the student will be given a CD with a File containing a Machine Mastery Guide Book that has the written instructions on the exercises the student will do in class plus added exercises the owner may continue trying on their own. These files can be printed on the owner’s computer or by a copy center such as Kinkos, Office Depot, etc. These files are in color but we suggest they be printed in black and white to keep costs down. We ask that you sign up for Class One and then you may take any of the other classes in whatever order fits your schedule.
