BERNINA of America, the world's premier manufacturer of sewing, embroidery and quilting machines, has announced the winners of its Fabric Design Contest on Pinterest, which ran April 1 to April 22. Entries were required to be original fabric designs, created by aspiring designers who do not already have a fabric line. Winners were selected based on originality, creativity, visual appeal and versatility by BERNINA's celebrity judges: Amanda Murphy, Tula Pink, Mimi Goodwin, Vanessa Christenson and Angie Steveson. People's Choice Winners were selected by the number of "repins" made on the official WeAllSew board on Pinterest.
The winners of BERNINA's Fabric Design Contest on Pinterest are:
All winners will also receive three patterns from Lunch Box Quilts (www.lunchboxquilts.com).
Up to 10 entries per person were allowed, created by hand, by computer or a combination of both and entered as 12-inch-square "swatches." The winning and non-winning designs are available for viewing on Pinterest at: www.pinterest.com/WeAllSew/bernina-fabric-design-contest-entries.
The BERNINA 710 is among the new 7 Series line of sewing, quilting and embroidery machines that also features the BERNINA 780 and BERNINA 750 QE (Quilter's Edition). Each 7 Series machine includes an extended freearm area with 10 inches of space to the right of the needle and a practical extension table with ample space to hold larger sewing projects. The 7 Series is also equipped with a color touchscreen and the integrated BERNINA Dual Feed, which tames hard-to-manage and fine fabrics.
