Bio

Rhonda has a dream job... teaching sewing fans about the most important 2" piece of steel in the sewing machine - the SCHMETZ needle. She creates programs and support materials that are easy and well organized for fast needle knowledge. Rhonda's proudest professional accomplishment is the 2014 availability of color coded needles to her sewing public.

During Rhonda's SCHMETZ classes, students respond with "a ha" moments and giggles as they learn needle facts. She enjoys sharing needle knowledge in classrooms and sewing shows throughout North America. She travels with the SCHMETZ "Super" Needle - it's 17" tall - and always asks "What's Your Favorite SCHMETZ Needle?"

She published 100 issues of the esteemed SCHMETZ Inspired to SEW. Rhonda publishes the "must read" monthly SCHMETZ newsletters.

Three Classes & One Trunk Show

Consumer Lecture

Appropriate for Shops & Guilds

Confused about what needle to use? What do all those numbers mean on the needle package? Is changing the needle really important before it breaks? Successful sewing is often about paying attention to the little things - like the needle in your sewing machine. Get the low-down on how this little piece of steel can solve some very BIG problems including broken threads, skipped stitches and puckered fabrics. Your sewing machine is an investment and protection begins by using the very best needle. Lecture is available virtually.

Retailer & Trade Presentations

Customers look to your staff as the experts. They should understand needle systems, functions of needle anatomy, needle types, color coding and clues to change the needle. Class will increase not only knowledge base but increase SCHMETZ sales and the confidence of your staff.

Hands-On Class

Stitch exercises demonstrate how needles, thread, technique and you, the sewist, control stitch quality. A fun, exploratory class.

Coats. Quilts. My Life with the Needle Trunk Show

Take a peek at my favorite coats, dresses, quilts and maybe a sewing flop along with the stories of how and why they were made.
