“I Stopped Embroidering!”

“I ruined so many garments, my embroidery machine performed so poorly and I became so frustrated I stopped embroidering. Then I attended a seminar titled “Creating A Stable Environment For Your Embroidery” by Melanie Coakley. I was amazed at how much I didn’t know about fabric, stabilizers, thread, hoping, and just embroidery in general. It was the most beneficial thing I ever did for my hobby…”

Melanie Coakley, National Education coordinator for RNK Distributing, exclusive distributors of Foriani Products is known for her love of sewing, textiles, embroidery and digitizing. Melanie’s passion for the sewing industry has taken her all over the country teaching the art of embroidery. Before the introduction of computerized machines, she trained in Switzerland in the art of free motion embroidery and sewing machine techniques. She recalls the “WOW” factor when she saw her first computerized embroidery machine, and of course had to have one, then two, and so on! She decided to add custom digitizing, and trained in the art of Digitizing with Walter Floriani. She quickly realized there was a market for her talents and started her commercial embroidery business in 1990. She was recognized within the industry and began teaching at educational events throughout the United States. She is a writer for industry magazine, enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge in how to produce beautiful embroideries from start to finish. She is a frequent speaker at industry events where she loves to share her 20-plus years of embroidery knowledge. Her energetic presentation and way of sharing in-depth information will keep you in stitches!
