Instructor Name:

Venitta McCall

Instructor Bio:

Spotsylvania, Virginia
Venitta received her first BERNINA, the 801 Sport in 1979, when she experienced garment
sewing using the Stretch and Sew method. She has continued to learn, and now teaches
BERNINA Embroidery Software classes, as well as many classes on BERNINA sewing and
embroidery machines.
Having served as a university professor and administrator, teaching is Venitta?s passion! It
is most important for her students to experience laughter, fun, learning, and enjoyment
with every class she teaches from beginning quilting to composing basic and complicated
embroidery, CutWork, CrystalWork and painted designs in the BERNINA Software and
DesignWorks. For her, the joy of sewing is in the process and the learning that comes from
sharing tips, techniques, new ways of stitching, and rethinking what was done in the past
and what now can be accomplished with the current technology available with BERNINA
machines.
She has enjoyed traveling and working with BERNINA dealers and their customers for over 20 years and she has worked extensively
with all BERNINA software products, machine embroidery and stitch manipulation techniques. She is an accredited Jenny Haskins
Tutor and a certified Hoopsisters? instructor. One of her specialties is creating beautiful machine embroidered quilts.
