It's great to meet you!
Sewing and crafting all of my life allows my years of experience to be passed on in a lively and informative way. I freely admit to reading all the manuals for pleasure and love teaching what I have learned to you in classes.
Bringing the out of the ordinary to front and center by encouraging everyone to change their settings (gasp!), use a punch tool (eek!) ruffle, ruffle, ruffle (wow!) and sew with their left foot (no way!) I show how easy it is to kick it up a notch or two by using any BERNINA product to its full potential. I strive to make it fun, not hard and leave everyone excited about their new tools and skills.
I love to come to events or classrooms bringing a mixture of enthusiasm and knowledge to attract and hold your interest.
From overlocking to software, garment sewing to machine embroidery, quilting to home dec, I have a love and understanding of the topics and the BERNINA machines, software, feet and accessories that accomplish each task.
YouTube is another favorite way of mine to engage with stitch enthusiasts worldwide. My channel can be found at www.youtube.com/sewshellyquilts where I have many up close videos on techniques that can be used with various materials, machine feet, The BERNINA 880 Plus, BERNINA V8 and V9 Embroidery software, my beloved Q20 and now my newest love the L890.
