My newest venture {as if I have time to spare} is my new Brother PE 770. It is my new baby, so to speak. It needs a lot of attention, guidance and patience, but it produces wonderful results if I meet it's needs. This 'baby' is a bit more attention detailed than my other three, however.
When I say 'we', I'm talking about my friend, Anna. She has been such a blessing in our lives, and our passion has merged to create our own small business! We are fortunate to have supportive husbands who believe in us and invest in our business daily. {Thanks, Jordan and Cole!}
Another blessing in this whole thing is another 'A' friend- and her name is also 'Anna.' Anna has been so supportive and encouraging. She came over the night we got our machine {which we have named Betsy- because it's fun to call her by name}, and we worked and learned for several hours. Since then, Anna has been a great go to for advice and last minute/emergency phone calls- Our needle broke! The bobbin is messing up! I sewed the back of the shirt to the front!
Fortunately we have learned from our mistakes and Betsy's temperament. I am encouraged with how much we've learned and improved since that first week. Hopefully we'll get faster- one shirt takes us about 2 hours. No joke. That's partially because I am super detail oriented and OCD about making things straight and centered. I want anything we make to be the best quality it can- and something I would put on my own kiddos. Needlesss to say, a lot of heart and energy {and time} go into each thing we make, but it's such a leisure activity for me- I absolutely love it!
Another friend- April- with Cuddle Bug Gifts has been a huge help. She gives me 'insider tips' on all kinds of stuff. It looks like the AAAA team is coming together! Thanks, friends!
