The Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival is Thurs. Feb. 23-Sun. Feb. 26. A Different Touch will be hosting the Bernina Booth again this year. The machine choice for the classroom will be the new 550QE. This machine comes complete with the 1/4” patchwork foot, walking foot and the Bernina Stitch Regulator making it the perfect machine for your quilting needs. If you are interested in this machine we are taking pre-orders beginning Feb. 15 for the classroom machines. Quilt show prices will be honored in the store. Come in for a demo and let us show you all the reasons why you should add one of these machines to your sewing studio.
