As this month ends, I’d like to take a moment to share a few brief updates with you that may change the way you approach opportunities this merry month of May!

May I remind you that BERNINA has presented many savings opportunities this month. 25% off Skill Hub Classes, BERNINA luggage and module bags, and all the titles in the “Big Book of” series of books. My personal favorites are the Big Book of Feet and the Big Book of Embroidery – they are my go-to resources before I start any new projects. BERNINA has offered huge gift-with-purchase (GWP) offerings when you purchase a new B790 Pro or the smaller, yet mighty B590 – both come standard with the embroidery modules. Whether you are a sewist or quilter, the B770QE Plus and B570QE models are greatly discounted this month! These two best sellers are customer favorites and are available with or without the embroidery module. Saturday is the last day to take advantage of these opportunities!

May’s Memorial Day specials on the Grace Q’nique 21X Elite longarm continue through Saturday! The Q’nique 21X Elite has been marked down $1,000, AND we are offering it with a FREE Evolution Elite Frame! Quilters spoke, and Grace listened! This machine has been designed with the utmost attention to detail to solve quilters’ most frustrating problems and make quilting as enjoyable as it possibly can be. Key Features include: 7” touchscreen display with intuitive screens and controls, large 21” throat space, adjustable ergonomic handles with quick-access buttons, and a speed range of 90-2600 stitches-per-minute. If you have the space, consider pairing the 21X Elite with the Evolution Elite frame (available in 8’ or 10’ or 12’ configurations) for an additional $1,000.

May I alert you that Grace currently has several Little Rebel sewing and quilting machines that are recertified and available at a discounted price while supplies last. These machines are like new but have been quality assured and re-warranted after being traded in or demonstrated at shows. Rest easy and save money when you buy recertified today. Reserve yours today by calling or stopping by Sun Valley Quilts. The Little Rebel is an all-in-one quilting and sewing machine. Piece your quilts with the sewing foot and feed dogs, and switch to free motion quilting in less than a minute when you’re ready to finish your project. Just slide on the quilting plate and switch the sewing foot for a quilting foot. Stand at a quilting frame or sit down to free motion with the included quilting extension base. The Little Rebel features: 13" of throat length, 8.5" of throat height, built-in stitch regulation, and a powerful motor with stitch speeds up to 1600 stitches per minute, the ability to handle almost any fabric, a large M-Class bobbin, and more! It comes standard with a foot pedal, stitch control box (for mounting on handles), sewing Foot, quilting Foot, quilting Plate, Size 12, 14, and 18 MR needles (10 each), and more! Whether used as a straight-stitch piecing machine or as a smaller mid-arm quilting machine on a Mini-Quilter frame or Cutie Breeze Quilting frame, you will love the stitch quality the Little Rebel offers.

May I ask if you checked your calendar to see if you are available on Saturday to join Barb J in our classroom? Barb’s Holly Bag by Sallie Tomato class features a slouchy, hobo-style bag designed for all levels of sewists, including beginners. Works well with fabric, cork, and faux leather. The adjustable strap allows you to wear it as a traditional shoulder bag or a crossbody bag.

And, as we arrive at June, we begin a month full of travel for Barbara and Lynn. First, we will be at the Grace Dealer Academy, and then later in the month, return to SLC for BU (Bernina University 2025). Most important, though, is Saturday, June 7^th, the 15^th Anniversary of Barbara’s ownership of Sun Valley Quilts. I can not share all the details yet but trust me when I say that we will be serving cake and Barbara will be ringing her bell to hand out FREE prizes all day long! Discounts and bonus savings opportunities throughout the store will certainly be a part of our celebration!

Lynn, Barbara, and the How MAY We Assist You Gals at SVQ!
