Client Testimonals
Didn't know how to thread a sewing machine let alone use one. Now I am making my own clothes by myself and have ventured into patchwork after attending classes at Sew Right
Deb.
Never thought I would use an embroidery machine as they looked far too difficult. Rhonda showed me how to use one and now I am making everyone gifts on my Brother embroidery machine.
