Thank you for visiting my website.

I'm Alan, and I have been involved with sewing and crafts throughout my entire life. 

Back in 2007, I thought it was time to update my Bernina 830 that I purcased in 1979. I started with a Pfaff 2170 embroidery machine, and after a few seminars and embroidery club workshops, I was hooked! Maybe a little crazy too. It was fun at the start and has turned into a passion that continues to grow. I still have my Bernina and Pfaff, but I've added quite a few additional machines since then. Along the way, I met John Deer of Adorable Ideas and we developed a great friendship and I began to learn the art of digitizing. In 2010, John published my first embroidery design pack. After learning to digitize, I also started to teach some digitizing classes using Floriani software. 

Please note...

I am in the process of developing content for you to enjoy when you visit.

Over the next few weeks, there will be much more added to my site.

Design Packs

After my first design pack in 2010, Peppermint Candy Quilt Blocks, I have continued to release a few design packs per year, primarily as "in-the-hoop" quilt block designs. My design packs are available for sale at ultimatestash.com, which is John Deer's new website. I am listed on the left side of the page as a vendor. 

Classes

I currently teach classes for in-the-hoop projects that I have designed at Sewing Machines Plus in San Marcos, CA
