Technical Tip: Using Magnets Close to your BERNINA
Occasionally we are asked if there are any issues with the
BERNINA machines using a magnetic seam guide or magnetic pin-
cushion on the frame or in close proximity to our machines. It’s
not a problem! According to BERNINA of America, the mag-
nets have no affect on your machine.
