SEWING EXPERT MARTHE YOUNG
      PRESENTS PROGRAM TO ASG MEMBERS


Massachusetts designer  and artist, Marthe Young -- a freelance educator for
Bernina Sewing Machines -- presented a two-hour seminar to members of the
Clifton/North Jersey chapter of the American Sewing Guild last month at
Nassaus Window Fashions in  Paramus, New Jersey, as part of the store's grand
opening of its new Sewing Machine Department. 

The forty  members who attended the  program enjoyed Marthe's expert advice
on sewing machine mastery -- which included instruction on using the new
Bernina Model 180.  This machine incorporates computer software that enables
the sewer to embroider and create a multitude of artistic designs on fabric. 
In addition to her role as an educator for Bernina sewing machines,  Marthe
has designed a wonderful collection of patterns called "My Sister's
Patterns". Her most recent work for Bernina can be seen on design cards,
"From Head to Toe, Hats and Shoes" and  "Just Desserts".

Following the seminar at Nassaus, members of the Sewing Guild were treated to
a box lunch and bus trip to Fabricland in North Plainfield, the "sister
store" of Nassaus -- compliments of owner Bruce Heyman.  The day proved to be
a very enjoyable "fabric and sewing adventure" for members of ASG and Mr.
Heyman hopes to work closely with the organization in planning more special
events in the future
