On the Virtual Road .
. .
Where do I start? There are so
many exciting projects and products in this newsletter. Here
are just a few highlights:
-
No one misses traveling to
quilt and sewing shows more than me. So virtual is the
solution. All along this season I've been giving SCHMETZ
classes via Zoom and FBLive to shops and guilds. Book
your 2021 dates now! My classes are described as
informative and delightful.
-
Maybe you can't travel,
but the Travelling QuiltCase can! Laura Coia,
SewVeryEasy YouTube sensation, created a wonderful
Travelling QuiltCase program to keep our stitch friends
connected.
-
As you know Rita Farro is
the writer for SCHMETZ Inspired to SEW.
This month, she really outdid herself again profiling
Isaac Singer and his business partner Edward Clark.
That's right, The Unlikely Partnership that created the
Singer sewing machine company. This story based on
history is juicy and scandalous even by today's
standards. Enjoy this astounding piece of history that
spills way beyond our sewing world into the great
museums and cultural institutions.
-
The holidays are upon us.
We put together a limited edition SCHMETZ gift box that anyone that sews
will love featuring the newest SCHMETZ combo packs.
Watch your email for a special announcement.
Even though I am not
physically traveling, this time at home and office is
reenergizing while focusing on what you, my sewing public
needs and wants. I hope when we all meet again, we have lots
of sewing & quilting projects to see and share. Let's sew!

SCHMETZ
Inspired to SEW #83
The invention of the sewing machine
began with many mechanically inclined individuals including
Americans Walter Hunt and Elias Howe. Isaac Merritt Singer perfected
earlier sewing machines, then with his astute and disciplined 50/50
business partner, Edward Cabot Clark, the Singer sewing machine
market exploded into an empire and relevant brand that survives
today.
Rita Farro loved researching the juicy history & relationship
between Singer and Clark. Even in the 19th century, Singer, the man,
was scandalous with media reports as an uncouth cad in a vortex of
wives, mistresses, dozens of documented children, money, drugs, and
affluence.
Singer and Clark, two opposing personalities, hated each other, but
is a reminder of the African quote, If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together. Liking each other was not a
requirement. Singer never could have built the company without
Clark. Their contributions are far reaching and simply astounding.

Thread Painting, A Garden Quilt
Award winning Joyce Hughes, thread
painting extraordinaire, shares step-by-step instructions to thread
painting in her second book, Thread Painting, A Garden Quilt.
She clearly details how raw edge appliqué and thread painting add
shading, highlights, and definition. Joyce's greatest
accomplishments is when a student creates their own artwork
following her dimensional thread painting techniques. Now you can
create your own thread painting masterpieces, with the guide of
Joyce's new book. We are thrilled knowing SCHMETZ Chrome Topstitch
needles are essential in her toolbox. Congratulations Joyce on your
beautiful newly published book!
