Summary
Talented professional successfully sews items with speed and diligence. Runs diverse machines and uses various stitches to meet specific needs. Alters garments, fashion accessories, and home decor items with quality finish.
Although my work history for the last 15 years or so has been quilting and sewing. I am looking for a remote job. I am an avid reader with a fairly broad vocabulary. I have experience with data entry and could also do remote appointment scheduling. I could do new product review or new quilt pattern trials.
