Bits and Pieces
April 29, 2025
| | Tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of the big savings available through Serger Month of April. If you’re thinking about one, now is the time to get off the fence, come in and see what all is available, what gifts we have available for you with purchase, what special prices are available, and how low can we go with pricing for you! Sergers are valuable for much more than just garment sewing, and the BIG Book of Serger will give you many tips, ideas, problem solvers, and inspirations for various uses! Please…take advantage of this last day! Air threaders from BERNINA make sergers soooo user friendly! | | Now, you might follow-up with what’s on tap for May, besides those “May Flowers” we’re supposed to get?!?! Quite a bit, actually! We’ve all been made aware of the tariff situation, which for BERNINA, will go into effect mid-May unless the issue is resolved. All of our stock on hand, and manufacturers’ stock on hand, is not subject to the tariffs, by the way. No BERNINA machines are made in China, and BERNINA is still a family-owned company but will be affected by the tariffs in the coming weeks, perhaps. BEFORE they become an issue, please look at our May specials and deals. First, we have an in-stock B 990- ( with all the goodies) that will not have any tariff issues. That is great news for you!!! Additionally, the B 790 Pro this month includes a valuable Gift Package : the X-Large trolley and module suitcases, an exceptional Embroidery Bundle, V9 Creator Software, the Skill Hub Class (totally instructional!), plus the Maxi Hoop. All Free with purchase this month. If you’re interested in this top-of-the-Line machine, make the move sooner rather than later!!! The B 590 comes with a similar Gift Package this month! Come pick up a brochure at SVQ, learn about the differences in the machines, do some practice sewing on them, then jump on board! | | The B770 QE Plus machine can be purchased brand new at a $2,000 savings!!! Add the embroidery SDT module for just $1,000. Great deal for you! Looking for something new but a bit smaller? Check into the B570QE and add the SDT module for just $1,000. Remember that if you get a machine ending in _70, you’ll have dual feed and the option to add the embroidery module at any time, which can sometimes help the budget for you or provide you with the opportunity for future growth. Come in, talk with us, and we’ll do our best to guide you to the best buy for you, your needs, your budget, and your future wants. | | Also in May is the BERNINA ACCESSORY Sale, giving you 25% off MSRP on the suitcases/luggage, Skill Hub Classes, and any and all of the BERNINA Big Books! May can be a great month of savings for you on many of our domestic machines and goodies. So don’t miss out…we don’t have crystal balls to see into the future, but we do know what advantages we have right now!! | | Grace Co., in addition to their great prices for longarm machines and frames, is offering 20% off their HOOP-FRAME accessories in May! Clips, clamps, cloth leaders, Gracie laser, and more! Come see how Grace can be amazing in YOUR life! | | Now, you’ve checked into all these great savings, but you are a newbie and don’t exactly know how to begin! We have that solved, also. Andi will be teaching Jumpstart Beginning quilting class on Saturday and Sunday May 3 and 4. Remember that SVQ opens on Sunday from noon to 4, so that is when the Sunday class (Part 2 of Jumpstart) will be. Sign up ASAP, get your supply list, grab your machine of any brand (so long as you know how to use it!), and join us for quilt beginnings. Learn how to enjoy this new adventure by not having to un-learn bad habits. It’s soooo much easier to learn how to do it right the first time! Andi is a GREAT instructor, and you will be on the road to taking more classes with Andi and our other instructors, growing your skills and creating beautiful quilts and such. | | Classroom will be closed 5-6-25 for a private event, but SVQ will be open and waiting for your arrival! Our special of the week will be floral fabrics at 20% off when you give us the code, in-shop or online. Code is: 20FLOWERS, in keeping with the May theme. We have lots of bright, bold, subtle, watercolored, large and small floral fabrics in stock now, so come in and take advantage! It’s a great time to be sewing, either on domestic or longarm machines, to let your creativity out, to try new projects, to meet with sewing friends, to visit with your friends here at SVQ. And remember to save the date of June 7 and celebrate our 15th year of ownership of SVQ. You get the gifts and prizes, and there will be many, like nothing we’ve been able to do before! It will be a great party, we hope, because it’s being done for you, to thank you for your loyalty and support, to encourage you to bring others with you who perhaps haven’t shopped with us before, to help us to continue to grow and get better and better! But come on in now…don’t wait until June 7 and miss all the specials we have for you before then….hope to see you soon! | | Barbara and the floral and fauna followers here at SVQ | | | | |
