Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I am sharing with you my favorite dish on the table this Thanksgiving! Mashed Sweet Potatoes 2 pounds cooked sweet potatoes 2 T butter 2 T maple syrup...the real stuff! 1/2 tsp grated orange zest 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar 3/4 tsp kosher salt freshly ground pepper Scoop out the flesh of the hot potatoes. Heat butter, syrup, zest and vinegar over medium heat. Mash this mixture along with the salt and pepper into the potatoes. Serve immediately.

1592 Pillowcases!

You are an amazing BWOS family! Can you believe we have been able to bless others with 1592 pillowcases, and you continue to bring in more. Through one simple act of sewing you make the world a better place. Some of the places that pillowcases have been distributed are Duke Children's Hospital, Community of Hope children's program, Aversboro Assisted Living, the Raleigh Rescue Mission, Durham Pregnancy Center, Methodist Home for Children, Phoenix Assisted Living, Lee's Long Term Care, and A Good Life Family Care Home.

Season for Giving

Bring in 3 cans or more of food for the Community of Hope food bank November 20 - 27, and Marilyn will say "thanks" by honoring 20% off your fabric (min 1 yd cut), books, patterns and notions wall - in stock items only - one time purchase.

Button Bracelet

While you are traveling and thinking of a project for the road, here is a fun idea! Grab your tin of buttons, some wide elastic, needle and thread. Sew on your favorite buttons to create a themed bracelet....match colors, make one playful, make one scrappy! The miles will go by quicker, and you will have a great gift!

Whistle While You Work : )

Best Press ia a nonaerosol, clear spray starch that is great for removing wrinkles! It also coats your fabric with a very light soil-resistant barrier without leaving any residues! And the scents....aaaahhhh...Citrus Grove, Caribbean Beach, Lavender, and unscented. We keep this product in our classroom and order refills by the gallon. Give it a try!

You Can Make This!

Here's a stylish apron pretty enough to sew for any season! This is a great project to use your Bernina bias binder!

What color would you like?

With over 4000 bolts to choose from, I bet you will find what you are looking for at Bernina World of Sewing. Our inventory is fresh and the best quality. A great way to make your next sewing or quilting project successful....use the "good stuff"! We are here to help you!

Sewing for Knitters

I needed to stitch some ribbon behind the handle of my knitted market bag. I surely did not want to take the time to hand stitch the ribbon securely. So, I thought Edgestitch Foot #10 is the answer! The blade of the foot nestled between the knitted rows perfectly. The ribbon was stitched on quickly and the stitches were neatly hidden in the yarns! I love my Bernina!

Creative Visions

It's that time of the year when you dream of gift ideas and hope you can remember that wonderful vision later. Why not create a journal for your ideas, clippings, fabric swatches, etc. so all your "thoughts" are in one place. I like this journal cover created to celebrate Sew Pink in October. Use this link for instructions and pictures! http://emag2b.pressmart.com/Through-the-Needle-ONLINE-magazine/emag/index.aspx?vIssueId=1250

Bernina World of Sewing Offers 36 Months

Happy Anniversary, Marilyn !

Thank you to our customers for 14 years of business at Bernina World of Sewing! Our Bernina family is special and continues to grow! Congratulations, Marilyn! We love you! Jane and Margaret

Young Sewers

For children or even teenagers a glue stick can be a prized notion! Glue sticks will hold a pocket in place for topstitching, keep straight seams together temporarily, tack a hem down so pins don't stick fingers while the stitching is done, etc. And the best part is the glue washes right out of the project! Hmmm...a glue stick may be a great notion for ALL ages!

Shades

What SHADE would you like? You can find 17 different bolts of these lovely cottons at Bernina World of Sewing.
