Frequently Asked Questions

What type of sewing machines do you own?  I sew everything on a Baby Lock Quilter’s Choice.  I inherited it from my mother after she passed away from breast cancer.  I very rarely quilt but love sewing on this machine for sentimental reasons.  I also own a Baby Lock Celebrity serger, a Brother 1034D serger, and a Brother PE770 embroidery machine.

I want to learn to sew.  What sewing machine do you recommend for a beginning seamstress?  I love Baby Lock sewing machines.  When friends ask me for a recommendation, I always suggest this brand at whatever price point they are able to afford.

I want to create things and learn to sew but I can’t afford a machine right now.  What type of projects can I make without a machine?  Before I started sewing, I realized that I needed a hobby so I ran to Hobby Lobby and purchased a beginner embroidery book.  It taught me the basics, and I took off from there.  Embroidery is a very cheap hobby and you can make gorgeous things!  It’s also a great portable craft.  I embroider on long car and plane rides and while watching television at night.

I want to learn to sew.  Where do I begin?  We are so fortunate to live in a time where we have so many options.  I never took sewing lessons and am entirely self-taught.  YouTube has great resources and there are also so many great books out there, but I have learned almost everything from just buying patterns and figuring it out myself.  If learning to sew is your passion, there is nothing stopping you!

Can I buy your makes or hire you to for a custom sewing project?  I do not sell my makes or do custom sewing for hire.
