Sulky Online Sewing Classes – Have you tried it yet?
I love learning new things and expanding on my skills. Whether it’s learning how batik fabrics are made or learning a better way to appliqué, I want to know it all. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or money to constantly run off to a quilt show or retreat and take these kinds of classes in person (although a trip to Bali to see them make batiks in person is on my bucket list). That is why I love Sulky’s online classes. We partnered with F&W Media for this because we wanted to bring you state of the art classes and still keep the autonomy to teach “The Sulky Way.”…

Sulky Online Teacher Certification Testimonials
One of my favorite side effects of my job is that I get all kinds of phone calls, emails and comments from Sulky fans every week. Yesterday a woman called me in a panic. She was at a retail location looking at the wall of Sulky stabilizers and was just overwhelmed. I was able to talk with her about her projects and help her get the right product. But my absolute favorites are the emails that we get after someone has completed the online Sulky Teacher Certification class. Rather than me sitting here and recounting them to you, why don’t you read some of them for yourself… “I’m truly inspired and…

Why I Became a Sulky Certified Teacher
As most of you know, my journey with Sulky began because I took a Sulky Teacher Certification class. I knew about Sulky before that class, I had an embarrassing amount of Sulky Thread and Sulky Stabilizers, but I, like many people, only thought of Sulky when I needed to do some machine embroidery. That’s when National Educator Nancy Sapin came to my quilt guild and gave an amazing and inspiring presentation about thread. She showed so many samples and inspiring projects and none of them were machine embroidery! They were quilts, bags, wearables, scarfs and even bowls. She mentioned the Sulky Teacher Certification Class and I was intrigued. I was ready…
