Hello, I'm Deanna Springer live at the Great Wisconsin Quilt
Show with insights to this year's event, and I'm joined by
Wendy and Brad, owners of so much more. And your vendors,
longtime vendors at the Great Wisconsin Wisconsin Quilt Show.
Good morning. Good morning. Welcome.
>> It's so great to be here. Thank you for having us.
>> It's always a pleasure. >> We love. We're a Bernina
booth, so we love being part of this and sponsoring the show.
So thank you. >> For that sponsorship. Yes.
And what what's new with sewing machine advancements right now?
>> A lot of new things in the industry. We've got new
embroidery machines with much larger embroidery fields,
bigger hoops. We've got the new magnetic hoops, a lot of new
accessories. Bernina has got some new big books that came
out. How to utilize all of your stitches and features you have
on your machines. Of course we with the overlock. If you don't
know what that is, we encourage you to come on out. Check it
out. We'll gladly show. >> The demonstration.
Absolutely. >> Absolutely.
clamp hoops are really exciting. You don't have to hoop the old
fashioned way when you're doing embroidery right.
quilt top into the a regular hoop. But with the magnetic
hoops. Yeah. Not anymore. >> Not anymore.
>> Yeah. >> Yes. And the pinpoint
precision on the Bernina 990, I think, is one of my favorite
advances. means that you can mark where
all the corners are of your block and get the embroidery to
fit exactly in there. You can even tell it what kind of
margin you want. So if you wanted a quarter inch in, you
can do that. And face it. As quilters, we don't. We're not
always perfect. We try for perfect, right?
>> But it'll make it perfect. >> Yeah, it will make it
perfect. around to make it look like it
fits exactly into our wonky blocks.
>> Yeah, and I think of my grandma and Brad's grandma,
Regina. Regina and Frank, Brad's grandfather, are the
ones that started our store. What they would think if they
saw these new machines. So like this. The bobbin is much bigger.
They have a computer screen on them. They hook up to the
internet. They have all kinds of fancy buttons. You can make
it stop with the needle up. You can make it stop with the
needle down. There's a scissors in it so that on your Bernina
machine it just cuts the the thread for you.
>> And there's even an app. >> Where you can.
>> Go change laundry or make lunch, and your phone will tell
you when it's time to change your thread.
>> And of. about the BSR Bernina stitch
regulation. When you're doing your free motion, all your
stitches are always perfectly even perfect tensions every
time. >> Yeah, absolutely. Yes, the
Bernina machines are wonderful for quilters with that perfect
stitch to that bobbin case, getting that bobbin correctly
close to the needle. That's what quilters love. They love
that perfect stitch. >> And when you want to go
through heavy thicknesses 13 layers of denim, they will just
purr right through that. No problem.
>> Tell us where your shop is. >> So we're located in Waukesha.
We're on the west side of Waukesha and and.
>> And breaking news. >> We're opening a new store in
Madison. So it's only three miles from the convention
center. It's 2118 West Beltline, right by Culver's. And yeah,
you can make a stop there to. And we are still waiting for
internet at that store. So once we have the internet, we are
going to put the word out that we are open. And so excited to
