The Quilt Block, a BERNINA Dealer located in West Des Moines, Iowa, will exhibit and showcase its new and state-of-the-art B 780 E at the American Quilter’s Society’s (AQS) Quilt Show in Des Moines, Iowa. The B 780 E is a part of BERNINA’s new 7 Series line, available at U.S. BERNINA Dealerships in late October. The AQS Quilt Show is being held at the Iowa Events Center, 233 Center Street, on Wednesday, October 3 through Saturday, October 6.
BERNINA’s new 7 Series line of machines – the B 780 E (Embroidery), B 750 QE (Quilter’s Edition) and B 710 – feature the world’s first, patent-pending BERNINA 9 Hook (B 9 Hook) that uniquely combines the advantages of the two best hook technologies: the rotary and CB hook. This hook system enables higher sewing and embroidery speeds, up to 9 mm stitch width and 80 percent more bobbin capacity than BERNINA’s standard bobbins. The 7 Series also includes an extended freearm area with 10 inches of space to the right of the needle and a practical extension table with ample space to hold your larger sewing projects.
The AQS Quilt Show in Des Moines will feature 130 vendors in addition to quilt exhibits, lectures and a multitude of workshops for quilters of all skill levels. Some workshops will feature BERNINA machines for participants to use.
