Hello, I'm Deanna Springer live at the Great Wisconsin Quilt
Show in Madison, Wisconsin. It's day two. It's Friday and we are
talking about sentences today, so welcome Pam Mahshie from
Bernina. just love being here at the
Wisconsin Quilt Show. First it's I can come home to Wisconsin.
Welcome home. Thank you so much. And I just love the opportunity
for all of us to learn so many things in different ways of
quilting and expressing ourselves through quilting, and
we're used to piecing and quilting on a domestic sewing
machine. machines this year. Yeah.
>> Today we are going well, this weekend we are actually using
the Bernina Sergers for piecing, and we've developed a Quilters
Edition machine for everyone so that you can experience the
great ways that Sergers can actually enhance your quilting.
We're not trying to actually take anything away from what
you're already doing, but give you more opportunities and ways
of quilting. >> And you brought 24 machines.
The classroom was filled with 24 beautiful Bernina late 90s
Sergers quilters editions. >> Let me show you what we're
going to be making too. This is the project that we're making,
and in this project they learn about using decorative threads.
We are also going to be making the flying geese, and we're not
even using a rotary cutter when we make those flying geese,
because the serger has a blade. That's right. And it's going to
cut it apart for you. So we're using the advantages that our
useful for our quilters as well. >> A lot of techniques you'll be
teaching today in this weekend. >> Absolutely.
>> Right. Let's talk about the quilt behind you.
>> Oh yes. So this quilt behind us here is actually part of a
bundle that comes with the machine. And the reason we
developed this machine and all of the items that come with it,
is so that quilters can get the full experience of using their
serger from using all the different stitches to using
decorative threads, and it comes with different feet as well.
