Susan Beck
Susan has a life-long love of creating and began to use needle and thread at about 10 years of age. This eventually led to earning a degree in Clothing /Textiles and a Master’s in Design, and then to working for BERNINA in both sales and education. For the 20+ years Susan was at BERNINA, she learned to appreciate the importance of using quality tools, specifically focusing in on the power of presser feet. As the editor of The Big Book of Feet…A Guide to BERNINA Presser Feet and Accessories, Susan is a strong proponent for using specialty presser to help you sew better, faster, and more creatively!
Susan created Sewfeet.com as a way to share all types of sewing with both beginners and experienced stitchers, paying particular attention to presser feet and attachments.
