New Sewing Buddies!

There is no question that a part of the enjoyment of sewing is having the right tools for the job! That can be a certain accessory foot,proper lighting ormy mostcurrent find the Posture Pleaser!

This is aproduct thatreally promotes good posture. It also prevents muscle strain in the neck, shoulders andarmswhile sewing, quilting, painting, crafting or working at your computer.
I had recently asked my hubby Joe to give it a whirl. He as been dealing with alot of the above complaints, which made him the perfect candidate for test driving this new product. I am happy to reporthe is noticing relief already in his shouldersand kneck!

Proper lighting isso important when we are sewing, crafting, quilting, or reading. So are proper glasses....but that is a whole other story...A couple weeks ago I brought in the LED Desk Lamp that has 40 Led lights Ilike that even though it has 40 lights it is small and is easy on your eyes. I have one in my reading area as well as by my sewing machine.

What is the Best Press Starch you ask?Best Press Starch is a clear starch alternative for those of you who do not like to useaerosal starch. Thisenviromentally friendly starch comes either lightly sented or non-scented. Great for using in classes as you don't have to air out the room after using.
There is no flaking, clogging or white residue on dark fabrics. I also really like the fragrences available. It makes ironing that much more enjoyable if you can have the scent of a Carribean Beach, a Citrus Grove, or a Lavender Field.

You can purchase them either in a little gift bag with a sample of each fragrence or in larger refillable spray bottles. Come on in and have a sniff!

Introducing the baby lock Enlighten Serger!

Findlay's is happy to announce the introduction of the newest jet air serger in the babylock line up.The baby lock Enlighten.

I really wondered how they could make anything easier than the imagine serger....
But the Enlighten with the latest in threading technology ExtrodinAir Threading, threads both loopers with a single push of a button!
And talk about quiet...

You really have to experience how it sews from sheers to upholstry fabric including denim with out a single hicup. There is no better serging experience then there is with the babylock Enlighten Wave
Can you imagine threading your serger in just a minute or so? I am sure it takes you much longer to thread just one looper, never mind the entire serger!

Can you imagine never changing tensions again?

Well if this sounds too good to be true, you must come to my store and try it out for yourself
Once you have gone to the baby lock self threading sergers, you will never go back!
