Very interesting info about your family and the sewing machine business!! You should buy yourself your own machine and learn how to sew, embroider and quilt. You might be surprised at how much fun it is!
Hi Gale. Great story and some insight from your family, on how they became sewing machine repair people. I loved it.
From my experience, you are way more experienced than those who where trained, hands on, from a young age have the advantage to those who think we can learn it in university, then try to be great technicians. You guys are a dying profession.
To bad all those famous sewing factories are not here anymore.
What an interesting story! I love the brilliant idea of opening a channel of communication between those that sew, and those that sell and fix machines. I live in Nashville, TN. I have 4 grown children that I sewed for when they were young. Now I'm retired and sew tiny doll clothes for the Blythe doll, on an older Bernina machine that was given to me. I'm excited about the newsletter. 😊
I enjoyed reading this article. A truly inspiring life story to be proud of. Go ahead and buy a machine and start to make things - since I took up sewing again I was astonished to see how many men do sew some gorgeous garments.
Your article is so interesting. Go you. I’m in New Zealand and learned to sew on my grandmother’s treadle machine in the 1950’s. Over time I graduated to blatting out fashion garments on an industrial sewing machine, then dropped it all in my 30’s and opted for boring office work until retirement. I have retained my original little Globe domestic sewing machine that I bought in the early 1970’s expressly for sewing buttonholes. These days I drag it out for the occasional clothing repairs.
We are so lucky your fathers parents decided to settle in the Bay Area. Thank you for all you info newsletters. Along with the history they are an enjoyable and educational read.
Thank you for sharing your family's history, it is truly amazing to learn how you came into this field through all of their experiences!! i look forward to each new email from you! SO... which is better the Bernina dual feed or the Janome acufeed???!!!!
Wow, your family has a phenomenal history! I enjoyed reading about the 5 generations. I’ve read some of your posts on the Vintage Bernina page and I think I’ve learned something from you every time. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you for sharing your family's story with us. I so value your expertise and your willingness to share it with the sewing community. I am a loyal customer and try to refer to others to your shop. Marsha Ewig
