Patty Marty
Patty’s passion for embroidery, sewing and quilting aided her in joining the Baby Lock Training Team in January, 2012. Her experience as a sewing and embroidery small business owner has helped bring a new perspective to the Training Team. Like most, she brings a life-long history of sewing and comes from a crafty lineage of women in her family. Patty’s experience of making custom purses, monogramming and embroidery helps her to spread the love for embroidery and the world of the multi-needle. She has quickly become a passionate quilter and lover of the Baby Lock long-arm machine. Switching gears from a consumer to a salesperson has helped her to bring her own approach to helping the Baby Lock retailers sell our amazing products. She is an inspired individual with an enthusiasm for fun fabrics, whimsical design and love of all things monogrammed.

Mike Johns
Mike has a very simple philosophy when it comes to being a Baby Lock Educator. "It’s really about the people," he said. "I have been so lucky to meet so many amazing people over the years and it is so heart warming to hear how sewing has impacted their lives." Growing up in a family of crafters, Mike said he didn't become serious about sewing until he studied Costume Design and Technology at Florida State University a little over 20 years ago. He said he enjoys the unique creative process sewing provides. "I love that sewing allows me to take an idea all the way from a pencil sketch (or a sketch on my iPad) and work it up into a pattern and then to a fully realized project," he said. "I also love the freedom that sewing provides for each person to create and bring his or her own vision to life." Mike added that teaching has also shown him the special relationship sewers have with one another. "This is a community full of wonderful, kind and giving individuals. I am constantly amazed by the generosity of those in our community," he said. "This is really highlighted by all of the service organizations, such as Quilts of Valor, that people in our community are involved in. I love hearing about them all."
