The children back in school or off at college, football is on the TV so fall must be lurking just around the corner.

Technical Tip: Using Magnets Close to your BERNINA

Occasionally we are asked if there are any issues with the

BERNINA machines using a magnetic seam guide or magnetic pin-

cushion on the frame or in close proximity to our machines. It’s

not a problem! According to BERNINA of America, the mag-

nets have no affect on your machine.
