I’ve been working on developing additional Machine Owner classes for all our BERNINA sewists.

We got to see teachers and friends selling their beautiful handmade goods and… Read more »

Boo. We hope those of you who were not able to get into the classes this time, keep… Read more »
We are getting really excited about machine embroidery here at MD! In all honesty, if you would have asked us how we felt about it a year ago, we would have turned up our noses. How wrong we were! Our beloved Meredith has taken a sewing technology that until recently conjured up thoughts of… Read more »
Monday brings the end of a long, fun, and exhausting weekend at Modern Domestic. We only closed Friday night, a few hours early, but otherwise were here working, sewing, and having a wild time! There are now lights, tables and machines in the new space and still much to do, but things are coming together…. Read more »
Just for the week (through next Monday the 17th) we are having a super awesome store-wide sale! Store wide sale on all machines and notions to celebrate our crazy store week ahead.

Plexi-table, Circular and Binder attachments. It’s all about the attachments. Want more space to work on? Don’t want to limit your ability to work on the oh-so-helpful free arm by sticking your machine in a cabinet? Gotta love the plexi-table. Larger projects, like quilting, are a breeze on 18″ x 24″ of clear sturdy love…. Read more »
