Leigh Zipf – Handi Quilter National Educator I have always been a
crafty DIY type of person who enjoys making things with my
hands. My sewing journey began 26 years ago on industrial
machines. I was the owner of a marine canvas shop where I
created upholstery from canvas and vinyl for a variety of
settings. This is where I fell in love with sewing and
wanted to make things for my home, so I purchased a domestic
machine. I made clothing and accessories before finding my
love of piecing and creating quilts. Quilting on a domestic machine for most of that time, I finally moved to a stationary HQ Sweet Sixteen® long arm and then moved up to a HQ Forte® long arm with Pro Stitcher® Premium. I worked for a local sewing gallery for the past 4 years, where I instructed new owners how to use their new machines and/or software. I also planned and taught many creative classes that focused on all of the ways to use their sewing machines, embroidery machines, and embroidery software programs. I love teaching all types of classes and helping others to realize they, too, can “Make That”. zipfleigh@gmail.com |
