Bernina is Awesome!!

David and I completed our trainings today!! The Bernina New Dealer Business Training was amazing. My brain is filled to the brim with great info about how to develop my business!!


But I think David really had a much more challenging week than I had. Technical training is tough!! Near the end of the first day of training I peeked in the room and each of the techs-in-training had an Artista 730 in front of them on the workbench... and they were disassembling them!! This is a top-of-the-line Bernina, and my son was taking it apart!! Pretty scary! A number of the men in the class have been repairing machines for years and they were really helpful to David (and to the other newbies in the class, I'm sure!)... Less than about 48 hours later, they had all adjusted and reassembled their 730s, completed the "stitch in" and they were working just great!! Next, they worked on the 440QE... and then the sergers....

Although early in the week, David looked pretty overwhelmed, by the middle of the week, he came out of the room smiling every day!! Exhausted... but smiling!! And today, he got his certificate announcing that he had successfully completed the Bernina Basic Technical Training!! YAY for David!! :)

Is This the REAL Beginning?

David and I arrived in Aurora IL today ('burb of Chicago) to begin Bernina Training. I'll spend the rest of the week in New Dealer Training and David will attend Technical Training (machine repair)... then next week, we'll both attend the Bernina Product Training.

I'm excited!! I've had a Bernina for nearly 2 years, but haven't had any Bernina training on it, so I KNOW there's lots of things that it does that I don't know anything about!! And to learn the embroidery modules -- and the new top-of-the-line Bernina machines will be AWESOME!!

I'll keep you posted!!
