Designers, when something goes wrong in the workroom and let’s be honest here; you usually hang the blame on your sewing-machine operators. The idea that these essential garment workers refuse to alter their practices to suit the job at hand is as old as Italian lace.

A Basic Sewing Studio for Knits

I am indebted to the Leabu Sewing Center for not only repairing and maintaining my machines, but advising me on how to provide myself with the essential machines for my work, without breaking the bank.
