Older model Bernina owners are also very welcome!

Discussions about the machines, embroidery, software, accessories and anything that starts with "Bernina" are all appropriate. Please upload pictures of your projects, share techniques, and review products pertaining to these machines.

Unwelcome posts include copyrighted material, advertising, and items for sale. Nor should there be any posts regarding politics, genealogy, religion (including prayer requests), recipes, or Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn invites.

Taglines of a reasonable length are allowed. Please use common sense when posting and try to stay on-topic. Members failing to follow these guidelines will be placed on moderated status without notice and egregious violations will be cause for removal.

Most of all, criticism of Bernina or dealers serves little purpose. There are better avenues for dealing with problems – specifically contacting BerninaUSA in writing at the address posted in the group files.

PS: If you like to read on the site, please chose "Special Notices" for your mail preferences. This is just like No Mail.

Thank you!
