About Susan

I was introduced to a whole new world of sewing when I became a sales rep at BERNINA of America and things quickly changed for me. I became interested in the sewing and education part of the business and, among other things, discovered the power of presser feet. I learned that knowing how to sew and knowing how to get the most from your sewing machine are distinctively different concepts. Presser feet and accessories are often the key to getting the most from your machine.

The first specialty presser foot I used was an edgestitch foot which is one of my all-time favorites! I wanted perfect topstitching on my projects but even though my topstitching was adequate, I had room for improvement. When I put the edgestitch foot on the machine and used the guide as I stitched, I had perfect topstitching; my sewing skills improved and all I did was use the proper presser foot!

I'm grateful for the years I spent in the education and training department at BERNINA because I greatly improved the quality of my sewing and my knowledge of presser feet. Even though I am no longer employed at BERNINA, I am proud to say that I still partner with them on special projects. Along with being the Editor of the BIG BOOKS Series, I teach presser feet classes and occasionally write for their blog, WeAllSew.com.
