Bernina Schoolhouse

Join us as we take the mystery out of your machine features and more!

* (Schoolhouse Session fees are waived for those who purchased their machine from Going Batty. Due to the popularity of these classes we often have to put students on a waiting list. Lately, a high number of students have enrolled, not called to cancel their enrollment, and then not attended these classes depriving those on the waiting list of the opportunity to come. Therefore a $10 fee will now be collected to hold your spot in class. A $10 credit will be given to each student who has paid this fee and attends class in the form of a going batty! Gift Card. Not following the going batty! class cancellation policy will forfeit your $10 fee.
