An experienced and enthusiastic instructor

Hey there! My name is Julie, and I'm here to help you get that embroidery machine out of the box and start stitching!

I've been sewing and embroidering for years. In fact, I even have a Masters Degree in apparel design. You may have seen some of my projects in Creative Machine Embroidery and Sew News magazines as I am a frequent contributor to those publications.

I'm also an experienced teacher having taught at the college level for over 20 years. And, I offer popular machine embroidery related workshops through Everything Embroidery Market and the Rebecca Page Summit. 

Why I built this course

Despite my extensive background in sewing and apparel design, it took me a little while to get started with machine embroidery.

I'm embarrassed to admit that my embroidery machine sat in a box for a couple of years before I even tried it out. But after I found a patient and knowledgeable teacher and practiced a bit on my own, machine embroidery began to feel like second nature.

So, if you find yourself intimidated by your embroidery machine and unclear on how to get started, I get it! And, I'm ready to be your guide!
