Artistic Artifacts offers BERNINA Sewing Machine Mastery Classes, BERNINA Embroidery Machine Mastery classes and BERNINA Serger Mastery Classes. If you purchased your BERNINA sewing machine, embroidery machine or serger from Artistic Artifacts, your Mastery Classes are FREE! Those who did not buy their machine from Artistic Artifacts are welcome to purchase registrations for our Mastery Classes. BERNINA Mastery classes are segmented by series and, because they are held via Zoom, are now available to you no matter where you live! (Class times listed are Eastern time zone and it is your responsibility to translate them as necessary for your location.)
BERNINA Ambassador Kathy Lincoln is our instructor, with years of experience teaching nationally, including at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. If your local dealer has not been able to offer Mastery classes; you need a refresher after a sewing layoff; you’ve inherited a BERNINA, etc., our classes are the ideal opportunity to learn to use your machine to its fullest potential.
