I was introduced to BERNINA Connection when my BERNINA dealer closed last year. I was disappointed, but find that I have a great new home with all I could hope for and more. I have 2 machines that were new and I was concerned I would lose my relationship with the dealer. That has not been the case. My top-of-the-line 880 SE is a dream machine, and BC has been fantastic with any help I need. The service department is attentive and professional. The sales people are great. And the fabric and notions collections are fantastic. I wish they were closer to my home -- but it's worth the drive. I have not experienced a class yet, but hope to in the near future. The selection of topics is interesting and not limited to quilting.
