Australasian Quilt Convention - AQC  »

The Australasian Quilt Convention has become the premiere quilt event in the southern hemisphere since it’s inception 6 years ago it has now become a genuine rival to other large events around the world. Bernina Australia has been a major sponsor of this event from the beginning and we intend to continue to support this event for many years to come. We do this as a way of giving back something to the many quilters and the respective guilds associated in this part of the industry. We encourage anyone interested in making their way to next years event in Melbourne as we know you will have a wonderful time shared with like minded people all of who have a passion for quilting.

Textile Art Festival  »

The Textile Art Festival commenced in 2009 and proved to be something a lot of textile artists and also the general public found to be a wonderful concept in this area of the sewing world. In June 2010 we participated once again in the second festival and provided sponsorship for a challenge where artists created textile art wear creations for judging and to be showcased at the event. The response was exceptional as was the quality of the garments entered. At Bernina we believe that this inspiring and wonderfully creative form of sewing should be shown to a wider variety of people to inspire them to get creative.

Bernina has a commitment to continuing to support such initiatives for many years to come.

Apex Teenage Fashion Awards  »

At Bernina we believe the future of our industry and the future of sewing in general is reliant upon younger generations being inspired to create and learn. For this reason we sponsor many youth programs one such being the Apex Teenage Fashion awards. We believe by providing worthwhile donations it entices the younger people to participate in such competitions and hopefully continue throughout their lives and pass on this to generations into the future.
