I started writing a GET TO KNOW YOUR CREATIVE PARTNER a few months ago. I have received lots of positive feedback from sewists of all levels about how much they have learned.

To create one of a kind items you have to know how your sewing machine works. If you want to stop being frustrated join me in class. If you prefer to just whine well then.....

In this Series: I Think MY Sewing Machines Hates Me, we will provide sewing therapy to repair your negative relationship with your machine! At the end of the series....Friends at Last!
