Series 400 of Quilting Arts TV has just begun airing nationwide and you won’t want to miss it! With its fresh and contemporary perspective on quilting, it was a natural fit for BERNINA of America to become the official sewing machine sponsor. And what’s really exciting is to watch the BERNINA 830 in action on the show! “I have to say I have been a BERNINA fan ever since I started quilting, and I was thrilled to learn that they were coming on board as the official sewing machine sponsor of Quilting Arts TV!” says host Pokey Bolton. “I also have a BERNINA in my home studio. Not only is it a sturdy machine with some pretty incredible engineering, it’s reliable, easy- to-use, and yields beautiful results.” In this season, host Pokey Bolton (editor-in-chief of Quilting Arts Magazine®) and the guests of Quilting Arts TV explore numerous contemporary quilting topics, such as art quilt design, free-motion quilting, thread painting, fabric manipulation, and more. Create inspiring projects like fabric portraits, journal quilts, patchwork totes, and even meet a very special guest—Project Runway’s first season’s winner, Jay McCarroll.
