The latest at Summer Hill Sewing Emporium

Hi All,
The Baby Lock Demonstration evening was excellent. I can now confidently say that MIchelle, who will be here every 6 weeks,is brilliant. When she comes we will run a demonstration evening. These are free and great entertainment. For any sewer they are very educational. Keep a look out.
If you are thinking of buying a sewing machine ...think again. These overlockers do every thing a sewer does other than buttonholes.
