Bernina Software Building Blocks 2024 (ZOOM)

New year, a little different spin on software class. This year BERNINA is providing 6 pre-recorded lessons and Stacie is creating 3 more for you to take part in. Unlike years past this will be an annual buy in due to the program changes BERNINA is instituting.

You will need BERNINA Skill Hub Code Cards which can be purchased through the shop for $150. With this code card you can access all 6 of the software classes Debbie Lashbrook is recording as well as attend all the sessions Stacie is planning with the 3 bonus lessons! This card will give you online access (around the 15^th of each month that the class is offered) to The Bernina Skill Hub. And yes, Stacie will be going over the video lessons with you just like years past.

All classes will take place via our ZOOM platform so that you can be anywhere there's an internet connection to be part of our software community. These educational lessons will help you get the most out of your software investment and will advance your personal projects to the next level.

Please call Cherry Berry Quilts Bakersfield at 661-282-8300 to purchase the code card & register! Class times are PST - please make sure to adjust for your time zone.

Each Skill Hub Lesson will contain:
