“Where Lasting Friendships Are Pieced Together” Winter 2014 Class Schedule December - January - February - March The 880, 560E, and Chicago 7. Welcome the 3 newest additions to the Bernina family! Visit us online at: www.quiltingbeespokane.com 1 New machines and new friends, old machines and old friends. With the new comes excitement, with the old comes certainty. Both should be embraced and enjoyed to the fullest. We understand when you don’t want to give up your old machine for a new one, just like you wouldn’t want to give up an old friend for a new one. Why would you? Just like you add a new friend to your family of friends, you can just add a new exciting Bernina to your family of sewing machines! :) Now in the beginning of our third year we can say we have some “middleaged” friends (all young at heart), have machines spanning decades, and are blessed to enjoy making new friends and getting new machines (see the front cover). If that isn’t enough change, cycling through several thousand bolts of new fabric every year is quite a ride. Speaking of new friends, in order to insure the best service possible we have also added two new staff members in the last few months. Please welcome Kathryn and Nicole. It has certainly been fun to watch you play “stump the new employee” with them! Finally, let us all rejoice in the season and in each other as we celebrate all that has been provided for us.

Wednesday, January 22, 1-3pm Friday, March 14, 6-8pm Did you know...Not all machine maintenance is meant for our incredible tech David. There are many things YOU can do at home to keep your sewing machine running its very best. Oil your machine after every 2 bobbins of sewing. Just one drop placed in the groove of your bobbin area will make a marked difference in the smoothness of your machine. 8-Series machines should oil before every sewing session as well as after every 2 bobbins. Change your needle! Many people don’t change one until it breaks. But changing your needle every 6 bobbins (or when it starts making noise) will allow your machine to make the most efficient stitch. Clean the lint from the bobbin area and feed dogs. 8 The Quilting Bee ~ Spokane WA, 99206 ~ 1-888-928-6037 Join us for our Anita Goodesign Event scheduled for Friday, January 24th and Saturday, January 25th, at the beautiful Davenport Hotel in downtown Spokane.
