You know that you can get 'skins' - removable and stylistic covers for your laptop, i-phone, cell phone, etc.

Well, Bernina is not to be left behind in the minds of hip quilters.

PS, I don't have a Bernina, but I just thought I'd share the concept. Proceeds from the sale of the skins support breast cancer research. I saw this in a recent issue of American Patchwork and Quilting (Favorite Finds page).

Would this appeal to you if they had these for every major brand of sewing machine? Me? Maybe not.

I might be interested. I put a skin on my laptop and I've done it for my cell phone before.

You know, I have a Bernina (and love her to pieces) but I am not sure if I would want a skin or not....it is intriguing, but I don't think I would want to spend the money.

now that is neat

It certainly peps it up, but I'm not sure I would want to spent my hard earnt money on this.

I saw them last month in a fons and porter magazine they look very cool!

dreamer2009 03-28-2011 02:33 PM

MadQuilter 03-28-2011 02:34 PM

Not really - I find it a bit distracting.

i would its $25 and a great way to personalize the machine

Jim's Gem 03-28-2011 02:34 PM

I didn't see where is posted how much they were.
Don't think I will spend the money on this, what ever it may be.

I think I'm with you. ;-) Would rather buy fabric.

What's cool is that I believe you can get a personalized skin with photos of your family, furred family etc. I don't have the extra cash to spend on it, but very cute.

ShirlinAZ 03-28-2011 04:21 PM

Nope. I'd rather buy fabric.

A sewing machine ink, cool, but not for me

sjscribe 03-28-2011 08:18 PM

:( I wish I could get a 'skin' but I don't have a Bernina.

Kas 03-28-2011 10:00 PM

They don't make them for the 640 which is what I have. At least I couldn't find it on the website. You can even personalize them, but that is more that $25.

Looks like it might be fun. But probably not in my budget

Nanamoms 03-29-2011 12:11 AM

That was my first impression, too. Seems distracting. I'll be happy to just get my pretty covers made for mine.
