MS episode 180: Jessie Zeigler – owner of Threaded Quilting Studio
You are going to love my chat with my guest Jessie Ziegler today from Threaded Quilting Studio. Jessie is an amazing longarm quilter and talented sewists. Jessie and I chat all about the ins and outs of longarm quilting. Jessie answered all of questions about what you need to send to a longarm quilter when sending in your quilts to be quilted. Sending off a precious quilt top that you have spent so much time on is a wee bit scary but Jessie helps to ease your nerves about the process and she is even sharing a discount code for Modern Sewciety listeners!!! I so enjoyed getting to know more about Jessie’s story into sewing and then long arming for others and I know you will enjoy it too. Have a listen and make sure to check the show notes for links and discount codes.

I get emails often about suggestions for guests for the podcast and this episode was the result of one of those emails. Erin reached out to me about her new website, Maternity Sewing, she started with fellow sewist, Lisa. Erin and Lisa saw that there was a need for information on sewing patterns and pattern hacks for maternity clothes so they started Maternity Sewing. Erin and I chat about how they decided to start a website, what information they wanted to have on the site, what would be helpful to sewists who wanted to stitch up maternity clothing, and so much more. They have even started a podcast! These ladies are on a mission and I really love how they are helping others build a handmade wardrobe while pregnant and postpartum. Speaking of postpartum, we do chat about our experiences after giving birth and I hope you find some of our chat helpful and uplifting. I really loved getting to know more about Erin and how Maternity Sewing can help so many in our community.
