We returned home last night after a wonderful week in Switzerland. Karol and I were fortunate to be among 150 dealers from the United States to earn a trip to Switzerland to see the Bernina factory and the new 830 sewing machine. We saw first hand the quality and pride that goes into the design and manufacturing of every Bernina sewing machine. We spent a full day in the Bernina Creative Sewing Center working on the incredible, new, HUGE Bernina 830. We can't wait to show it to you. Please join us for "A Date with 8" on September 8, from 6:08 to 8:08, so we can share with you everything we have learned about the new Bernina 
8 Series machines - the 830 and 820. We will have Swiss chocolate (of coarse), travel photos, a presentation on how the 8 Series machines were conceived and designed and then we will demostrate the machine features. Call the store to reserve your place (952-934-5307.) We also learned that because we earned the Swiss trip, we would receive our floor model demo machine in late September rather than November like the rest of the US dealers.Wendy Fedie, Bernina Manager
