It has been amazing and I am looking to expand in person offerings.I am a new PFAFF Ambassador and really excited about the features of the Performance Icon.I am also a Ditto Ambassador and using a sewing projector has been great. It cuts my sewing time down tremendously since I don't have to cut patterns.My business Sewrority Wear will be hosting our 2nd sewing retreat in March 2024.Follow Monica: https://www.thatssewmonica.com/https://www.instagram.com/thatssewmonica/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_RWOmyXYCMRSrBMuOxnzhgCheck out our NEW website and signup for our newsletter to be the first to know who we are interviewing next, submit questions for the podcast, and so much more!https://thesewcialhourpodcast.com/New this year in 2023: THIRSTY THURSDAY - Behind the scenes content to get to know us and our guests on a more personal level.
