Learn how to successfully sew challenging fabrics such as leather, fur, chiffon, cork, knit and more during the Mastering Challenging Fabrics course offered thru the BERNINA Academy. Learn seam and hem finishes to “sew like a pro” on various fabrics. Discover ways to make sewing easier by using proper feet, stitches and features of BERNINA machines for precise sewing. We will let the Creative Consultant, built in the BERNINA machine, be the guide and lead students through the course. Students will be inspired and encouraged to sew as they learn how to successfully work with all the new textiles available using traditional techniques.

The two-day course exposes students to a wide variety of fabrics and will teach them the fundamentals of seaming and hemming the fabrics. They will build a solid sewing foundation that will help them through a lifetime of sewing. At the end of the academy, participants will have made a Technique Book to use as a reference guide every time they walk into their sewing studio and turn on their BERNINA to sew their next project.
