Thornton & Centennial Fall 2017

Going Above & Beyond for You!

And now the fun starts… This should be every sewists favorite time of year. Every fall all the sewing machine companies have their annual conventions and bring out all their fun, exciting and wonderful new products. This year we are excited to announce that Babylock is leading the way in the fun innovative technology. As you receive this newsletter, Kate, Matt, Jennie, and Patrick are in St. Louis getting trained on all the fun new products that you will be seeing this fall. We have six new machines to add to our already incredible line of machines, including a new top of the line serger that is sure to blow your mind. Babylock has always been the innovator in serger technology and this new machine just continues to reinforce that point. Not only is it going to have its traditional looper threading systems, but now it is also going to thread your needles for you with jet air threading technology. But that is just the start. We just found out there is also an upgrade coming out for you Destiny owners. What an incredible machine. Every year you lucky owners get to improve on your already excellent features and keep up with the great new technology without have to invest thousands of dollars in the process. We are so excited for you to get to see all the new products, and we our having our annual new products seminar on September 19th and 20th so you can see firsthand all the wonderful things at your disposal. This fall is also going to be full of more exciting events for you to come to. We have three different out of store events scheduled for you with each being more exciting than the last. We are going to start off with our annual Floriani Hands-on event featuring Debi Denny. Debi is always wonderful in the way she presents her new techniques and we can’t wait for her return visit. After that comes our signature 12th Anniversary event featuring Jenny Doan from Missouri Star . This will also be a hands-on event featuring 3 different classrooms. Everyone gets their own machine to sew on and Jenny will be teaching you some of her favorite quilting techniques during one of the clas- ses. We are then going to finish our year off with a bang, as we are bringing Nicci Brazzell in for another one of her incredible presenta- tions. Nicci is doing her Bohemian Design Fest and she is full of sewing insight and will amaze you with her knowledge and expertise. Thank you so much for your continued support. Kate and I know that we couldn’t continue to do what we love without you. We love that you allow us to be part of your sewing community and we look forward to seeing you in the stores soon. Going Above & Beyond for you! Patrick and Kate
