What exactly is a Cutting Edge Serger Event?

When customers see the full creative potential of a serger, selling one gets a whole lot easier. Here's how a visit comes together.

01 — Day before

The Trunk Show

A two-hour showcase of Barbara's creative serger techniques — fast, fun, and surprisingly easy quilting results, from decorative stitching to effortless binding. No sewing machine required.

02 — Day one

Hands-on workshop

An all-day event highlighting BERNINA's exclusive features through genuinely useful techniques. Barbara's instruction engages novices and experts in the same room.

03 — Day two

An encore day

A second all-day session on the next day, giving your customers the flexibility to attend whichever day fits — and doubling the chances to sell.
