BERNINA National Artisan, textile artist Karen Spector, recently hosted boy scouts from Troop 321 and taught basic sewing techniques on the BERNINA aurora 440QE. The scouts created a dozen fleece-lined dog and cat beds for Pets in Need, a local animal shelter!

Great job! My Girl Scouts would like to make these for a shelter here in northwest Houston area. Do you have instructions to share?
