Why do our members love ASG?

 

“Being a member of ASG has introduced me to experts in all manner of sewing and various stitching philosophies. If I’m ever in a sewing quandary, I know that I just need to message our members and someone will lend me a hand!”

— Brenda O.

“My involvement in the ASG leadership helped me to land a dream job working behind the scenes on the PBS program “Sewing with Nancy”. I realized in awe one day as I was “unsewing” a seam for Nancy in advance of a taping session that I was being paid for my most dreaded sewing task... picking stitches!”

— Emily O.
