Eversewn is a trademark of Brewer Quilting and Sewing Supplies in Aurora, IL -- has the exact same address as Bernina USA.
The Eversewn Sparrows are being sold on the The Quilting Show website. TQS is sponsored by Bernina. I doubt they would be selling a competing product on their website. I also doubt Ricky and Alex would sell a machine they didn't stand behind.
I think this is a smart move. I believe there is a market for quality entry level machines for under $500. People under 30 are used to purchasing online and learning online. They aren't going to be swayed by free lessons in a shop, they will go to youtube to learn to use the machine. There's a lot of young people into making costumes for cosplay (think dressing up for Comic Book and Game Conventions). Then there's the ones wanting to sew because of Project Runway and Project Runway Jr.

That was part of the reason I felt good about my purchase. I don't think either of them would sponsor it if it were a terrible machine.

Celebrities of every kind "sponsor" products for the $$$$.......in any purchase, I buy because I am convinced it is the best offered, after thorough investigation.......if I were looking to buy a new machine, this brand would be high on the list of possibles though.......

This is what I found out :
Seems the machine is very popular with the non quilter sewers. There are many more non quilter sewers then quilters. I think we forget that. LOL There is quilter's package that can be bought for the Sparrow 25.
The "Swiss Engineer" for these machines is Philipp Ueltschi, if that name rings a bell with you. He and his sister will be the 5th generation of Bernina. It's interesting that he helped design these machines which have metal internal frames and are available to dealers through Brewer Quilting & Sewing Supplies.
Sparrow 25 has the same keypad layout and display as the old Bernette 70.
