| Instructor Bio: | Marlene learned to sew, knit and crochet at the knee of her grandmother Carrie beginning around age 8. Her sewing became serious when her two daughters were born, and her first Bernina was purchased over 50 years ago. She deeply delved into quilting and machine embroidery, taking many classes online, in person, and reading books and patterns. Her greatest joy is teaching new people how to use their machines and begin their own sewing, quilting and machine embroidery journeys. |
