>> Deanna: HELLO, I'M DEANNA
SPRINGER, LIVE AT THE GREAT
WISCONSIN QUILT SHOW WITH
INSIGHTS INTO THE EVENT, AND WE
HAVE A BRAND-NEW FACET THIS YEAR
AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN QUILT
SHOW.
A LONGARM SIT AND SEW.
I'M JOINED BY DONNA FROM
BERNINA.
>> Donna: HI, I'M DONNA.
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.
CHECK OUT THIS CLASSROOM.
IT HAS TEN SIT-DOWN Q SERIES
BERNINAS, AND I AM SO EXCITED SO
SHOW EVERYONE WHAT A FABULOUS
MACHINE THIS IS, SO PLEASE STOP
OUT, BRING YOUR FRIENDS, AND
STOP IN AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE
BERNINA LONGARM.
IT IS PHENOMENAL.
>> Deanna: TELL US ABOUT THE
BERNINA LONGARM, AND TELL US
WHAT IT DOES.
>> Donna: IT DOES ONE THING
REALLY, REALLY WELL, AND THAT'S
A STRAIGHT STITCH THAT HAS NO
FEED DOGS, SO YOU HAVE TO MOVE
THE FABRIC.
I SEE THE FRAME SO YOU CAN CHECK
BOTH OUT AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN
QUILT SHOW AND WE ARE SITTING IN
YOUR CLASSROOM WITH TEN
MACHINES, AND IT LOOKS LIKE AT
FIRST GLANCE WE'RE SITTING AT
THE END OF THE MACHINE, THE
MACHINE WAS TURNED.
>> Donna: YES.
RIGHT HERE IS THE PROJECT WE'RE
GOING TO BE WORKING ON.
WE HAVE FIVE CLASSES HERE THIS
WEEKEND.
I THINK THEY'RE FULL, BUT YOU
MIGHT CHECK.
THERE MIGHT BE AN OPENING ON THE
WAITING LIST.
USING A BERNINA SITDOWN, IF YOU
DIDN'T USED IT, IT'S LIKE NO
OTHER.
THAT SEWING MACHINE NEEDLE THAT
NO OTHER LONGARM HAS, ALL OF THE
THREADING AT THE FRONT, AND THE
BOBBIN, EVERYTHING IS ON THE
SIDE OF THE MACHINE, AND THERE'S
16 INCHES BETWEEN THE MACHINE
AND THE HOUSING OF THE MACHINE.
>> Donna: THAT'S SO RIGHT, 16,
Q16 PLUS, Q20, AND Q24.
WE ARE AT THE PRIMITIVE
GATHERINGS BOOTH, AND THEY HAVE
THEM ALL, SO TRY THEM ALL OUT.
>> Donna: AND THEY COME WITH THE
TABLE, BECAUSE YOU NEED THAT FOR
THE FLAT SURFACE.
>> Donna: WE DO, WE USE IT FOR
EVERYTHING BUT WHAT WE SHOULD,
SO THIS TABLE GIVES YOU A LOT OF
SUPPORT, AND THERE ARE LIKE
THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT KINDS OF
TABLES AVAILABLE, AND IT DOESN'T
TAKE UP A LOT OF
BEFORE YOU BUY A MACHINE, YOU
CAN TRY IT OUT, IMAGINE THAT,
AND YOU CAN FINISH IT AT HOME.
>> YES, YOU CAN TAKE THEM HOME.
WE ARE OFFERING HUGE SAVINGS,
BUNDLES.
I THINK THEY'RE GIVING YOU THE
BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL AT THE
SHOW.
>> QUILT SHOWS ARE THE GREATEST
TIME TO BUY A SEWING MACHINE,
FABRIC, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO
GET STARTED IN QUILTING.
IT'S NOT JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO
HAVE BEEN QUILTING FOR A LONG
TIME.
ANYONE CAN START QUILTING TODAY.
>> I'M SURPRISED BY THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WHO AREN'T EVEN SEWERS
WHO COME HERE.
THERE'S SO MUCH INSPIRATION.
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW.
IT REALLY IS.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE, YOU
NEED TO GET HERE.
>> WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU
HERE AND LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE
SURROUNDED BY, ALL OF THESE
BEAUTIFUL QUILTS.
SO LIKE DONNA SAID, WHETHER
YOU'RE A QUILT OR NOT, THERE'S
SOMETHING YOU'LL ENJOY WHEN YOU
