Fun & Easy Sewing Kits

Valerie Miranda has been a customer & supporter of our store for many years.

Many of our new sewing customers have been looking for fun, simple projects.  Valerie started “Fun & Easy Sewing Kits” 

These kits contain all of the necessary pre-cut fabric, hardware, handles & “bling” , to complete  one of twelve different handbags.

You can see and purchase these skill building kits at our retail store or purchase direct at funandeasysewingkits.com.

Tell Valerie we said “Hi”

Love letter about a vacuum cleaner?

Sebo makes a phenomenal upright vacuum cleaner!

We have sold hundreds of Sebos since the decade started.  Last year, Sebo sent us a “guestbook”, a book that customers could write and share their impressions.  Some are written in rhyme, one is rendered in haiku (very cool). 

Some common resonating features:

• Unbreakable geared-belt/clutch drive system.
• Servo real-time height adjustment.
• Instant hose & attachment access.
• Brushroll removes in seconds, without tools, for quick easy cleaning.
• All maintainance is performed without tools. Bare-fingered, instant service.
• Sealing dust containers that you throw away! (Vac guys hate bagless machines)

Does this resonate with you?

Call when you can, tell us about your home and lifestyle.  We will help you select the right model for you.

We’re really good at this!

A New Generation

This month marks the arrival of the latest technology in home sewing. 

New models arrive continually.  Many models contain features that have previously existed but are re-presented in a new package.  Bigger, better, faster, brighter, bla, bla bla.  Several years can pass before an innovative feature arrives that is an industry game changer.

Brother Industries of Nagoya, Japan recently introduced embroidery/sewing machines that have Optical Recognition.  Marketed in the U.S. under the Brother Quattro (Model NV6000d) and Baby Lock Ellisimo (Model BLSO) labels, these models truly incorporate technological features that have left competitors in the dust.

This is what optical recognition can do, now:

• The machine can “read” the fabric’s edge and stitch a seam, precisely where the user chooses, even when the edge curves.
• Search and find a registration mark that you, the user places on an embroidery project.  Once recognized, the system centers and orients embroidery per the mark.  The project can be hooped off-center and off-axis with perfect results.

I believe the engineers did not play all of their cards.  These user-upgradable models are sure to make further use of this technology.

I can’t wait!

We proudly carry both brands in our retail store.  Our customers, technicians and sales staff have tested and challenged the preview models.  Satisfaction is running high, exceeding expectations.  If you live near our retail store or find yourself in the San Fernando Valley, CA (Universal Studios, Warner Bros. Disney, etc.) visit us for a hands-on presentation.  Schedule a visit during one of our special educational events.

More than meets the eye.

Choosing a great sewing machine or vacuum cleaner by spec sheet or feature list is challenging.  One cannot feel the maneuverability or hear the sound on a web page.  We use and service the models that we offer.  We know which models our customers are happiest using.

Call for a consult.  Share your needs & desires.  Let us help you make a great selection
