I get a lot of questions about what kind of software I edit on, what kind of sewing machine I have etc… so this is a very detailed list of everything I use in my sewing studio, computer and online tools to run my business.
Sewing Machine
-my main sewing machine is a Juki DX 7 and a Juki TL-2010q. I also have a Viking Emerald 116 (my original machine). I have a Singer Ultralock serger as well ( I stole it from my Mom, love you Mom!).
My favorite place to get sewing machines is from my friends at Sew Mini Things, click the image below to check out their selection!
