Horizon Project Workshop @ Couling Sewing Machines in Lincoln

Couling Sewing Machines is a true family business.
Alan has been in the sewing machine trade for over forty years and established his own business in 1982. Carol, his wife, is a fully trained demonstrator and offers free tuition on all machines bought in the shop. A few years ago, their son, Steven joined the family business, and has full engineer training... and of course, plenty of machines to gain experience on! Today, we ran a Test Drive workshop, for ladies who are thinking of purchasing the Janome Horizon 7700QCP. Alan couldn't help seeing what the ladies were making...

And Carol used the chance to spend some time on the machine, and make a lovely sample for the shop!

All the ladies had a wonderful time... and some enjoyed it that much... they had to order the machine there and then!

Harrogate Quilt Exhibition with White Rose Sewing & Craft Centre

The first wekend in September is the annual Harrogate Quilt Show http://www.grosvenorshows.co.uk/html/Northern_Harrogate.html and this year, for a change, the weather was beautiful! Visitors had the chance to sit outside and soak up the last rays of sunshine for summer 2010! I was working with Phil from White Rose Sewing and Craft centre, who has a shop in both Harrogate and Wetherby. We had a display of Janome machines, and Phil also had a selection of Horn cabinets for customers to see close up as well.

Sandra, (with me in photo below) who loves Janome machines and has been a long time customer of White Rose, took the opportunity to take a look at the new Janome Horizon... and who knows... she might add it to her collection!
