Hi there. This is just a quick note to remind you that the Ex-Symposium Bernina Sewing machines are looking like a REALLY good deal right now with price increases on Bernina and Bernette sewing machines, software, overlockers, parts and accessories taking effect from 1 October.

Anything that is on order or ordered by close of business on Friday will be at the current pricing, saving you 5% on machines and 10% on accessories. It is also worth noting that a further price rise is scheduled for January 1, 2023.

This is not something that Bernina has done lightly, but huge increases in freight and operating costs as well as the declining value of the NZ dollar against the Swiss Franc has made these changes inevitable.

On a lighter note at Annie’s we are still doing our very best to source top quality products and a reasonable price so that we can all still indulge our passion for creativity. J

Hopefully this little cross stitch pincushion will make you smile. We have put this together as kit with fabric and threads and it is just $16.00. This guy is pretty cute to make for yourself or as a special gift your stitching friends.

There is no recipe this week, as we are busy packing to head north. See you at Symposium in Lower Hutt next week!
