The Magic of Sewing

One of the joys of my job is talking to sewing enthusiasts from around the world.  Whether teaching or walking a sewing show, sewists like to show and tell about their garments, quilts, wall hangings, crafts and charity projects.  I met Bill earlier in the year between my SCHMETZ: Get to the Point classes at Steve's Sewing, Vacuum and Quilting store in King of Prussia, PA.

Bill showed me a photo album of his sewing projects and his newly created sewing room.  Thanks to his daughter moving out of the house, the bedroom was free and Bill moved right in setting up sewing machines, a serger, lots of shelves, thread racks, a cutting table and extra lights.  Bill was beaming ear to ear over his awesome sewing studio.

Bill loves to sew quilts . . . . and thoughtfully creates lovely gowns for the burial of premmie babies.  The gowns are complete with lace trim, satin ribbons and dainty rose trim.  The gowns are donated to the local hospital.

Curious to why Bill learned to sew? Magically, he can thank his Mom.  Special pockets?  I'm lucky to install one good pocket.  Thanks Bill and the customers and staff at Steve's Sewing and Vacuum for a terrific Sew SCHMETZ day!  If you missed it check out my March 28th blog post for more details about Steve's Sewing, Vacuum and Quilting store in King of Prussia, PA.

Steve's Sewing Vacuum and Quilting, King of Prussia PA

What a joy to visit fantastic sewing dealers from coast to coast!  Earlier in the month I taught SCHMETZ:Get To The Point classes at Steve's Sewing, Vacuum and Quilting store in King of Prussia, PA.  Wow!  


First the physical store is impressive - it's a former electronic store that Steve Chubin, owner, remodeled allowing natural light to dance among Baby Lock, Bernina and Janome machines.  Gloriously anchoring the store among 3,000 bolts of fabrics, vacuums, and the service department is the luxurious Miele kitchen that not only looks fabulous, but draws customers from all corners of the 35,000 sq ft store with freshly baked cookies.  Really!  

Steve's professional, educated and friendly staff was wonderful in assisting customers with sewing machines, vacuums, services and classes - sewing and yes, even cooking classes.   The store was a buzz in every department including the classrooms with instruction in long arm quilting, Kid's Clubhouse and my SCHMETZ classes.


When you find yourself in the Valley Forge area of Pennsylvania, make sure to drop by Steve's Sewing, Vacuum and Quilting Store.  You are sure to be impressed and find some goodies too.  Thanks to Steve, Liz P and all the staff for making a great SCHMETZ day!
