Well the temperatures are cooling down and the days are getting shorter and these are sure signs that summer is coming to an end and the Fall is quickly approaching.  A sure tale of Fall is that book bags and school supplies have been bought and for many of you out there who know me well, you know that we have sent our first born off to university this year, so for me, this fall is bitter sweet.

Babylock Tech this year was fantastic and we again were inspired by all the top educators in the US, Nancy Zeiman,Eleanor Burns and Cathy Mcmakin from Martha Pullen Company. 

We are happy to welcome two new teachers to our educator staff this season and welcome one back.

June Amato has worked with us for 7 years now and for the past 3 years has attended Baby lock Technical Training.  She has a vast interest in sewing, serging and embroidery.  Her love right now is working with beginner level sewers and teaching kid’s classes.  Her enthusiasm is contagious and will be sure to help you catch the sewing bug as well.  Welcome June!!!

Our next new educator is Lynda Losonsky.  Lynda has been with us at R. B. Fabrics for three years now and is also a huge sewing enthusiast.  Lynda has a passion for always learning more and soon hopes to broaden her skills with continual training at home and through babylock Canada.  Welcome Lynda!!!We also welcome back Betty Darby, who has taught here in the past and is recently back from back surgery.  We are pleased to have her back on our educator staff.  Welcome Back Betty!!!

And then of course there is me. Some of you know me and some of you do not.  My name is Elizabeth Badiuk and I am the owner of R. B. Fabrics and have been teaching for 20 years now.  I have extensive training in the US and Canada and am now a Martha Pullen Certified teacher.  My main passion is to teach and educate sewers, new and experienced.  I hope you will sign up for a class and we look forward to making new friends in the classroom.  For your convenience we are offering day, evening and Saturday classes.

See you soon!!

Elizabeth
