Bernina & Baby Lock Classes

Machine Mastery
Instructor:  Ginny Benson
If you purchased a machine at Asheville Cotton Co., don't miss our famous Machine Mastery series!  Classes are ongoing and do not necessarily build on one another, so don't delay -- jump in at any point in the schedule.  We have classes on Monday nights and Tuesday mornings.   Classes will last from 1-1/2 to 2 hours.  Free and open to those who purchase their machine from ACC; not available otherwise.
