My BeRNiNa® Machine Owners intro ClassesWe’re excited about the training series that has been developed by Bernina to help you master your machine. These classes are available for all new machine purchases and are free of charge when you purchase your machine from the Berry Patch.
If you have previously taken the guide classes, the information is the same -- only the names of the classes have changed.
If you have purchased your machine out of our marketing area, your dealer can pay the Berry Patch to provide your training and warranty - on a “space available” basis. If you purchased your machine from us, we are happy for you to take a refresher
class at any time. Remember, not all Bernina training is the same. Train with the best at the Berry Patch!

Many classes have kits that are required and we have tried to keep their expense to a minimum. Many classes do not require a kit, but do require supplies. We ask that you purchase the class supplies from the Berry Patch. This is the only way we can maintain low class fees. Our classes are presented for the individual use of those attending. If you teach somewhere else or plan to do so, please let us know. We have different class fees when we train teachers. Most classes fill quickly, so we suggest you register early to reserve your spot!
Whenever there is a question about you participating in a class, don’t hesitate to discuss it with us. We try to accommodate everyone if possible.
This symbol represents classes that require you bring your sewing machine.
This symbol represents classes that specialize in handwork.
Skill level ISome sewing experience will be helpful. Basic use of your sewing machine may be required. Some Skill Level I classes are true beginner’s classes and you start from the very beginning.
Skill level IIThese are not basic sewing classes, so you will need a background...perhaps the basic classes or experience in other areas of sewing. When machines are required, you should be well familiar with the functions of your specific model of machine.
We believe that our class schedule is an important part of the service we provide. Our teachers and staff work hard to provide quality training in many areas and we appreciate your participation.
In the future, we will make three the minimum number of students for a class to be held. We ask that you sign up for the classes you wish to take as soon as you decide, rather than wait to see if the class makes with the minimum three students. This will help us with scheduling.
Finally, we ask that you call us if you have signed up and paid for a class, but are unable to attend. If you call us three days before the class date, we will be happy to refund your fee. This happens often and the class space is unused. Many of the classes have a waiting list of students that would like to attend.
Thanks for your understanding!
