Baby Lock Presents Friday Night LIVE

If you are a regular Sew Expo fan -- you already know Steve Jeffery, President of Baby Lock. Most of the time -- you see him HERE -- on the Expo Runway, giving away a sewing machine. In this picture, he's standing with TWO winners at Eleanor Burns Quilter's Night Out...

Another winner -- happily learning how to create beautiful embroidery on her new top of the line Ellissimo embroidery sewing machine...

Last year, after Nancy's Friday Night LIVE -- yet another lucky winner...(are you sensing a theme here?)

We have a lot of wonderful vendors at the Sewing & Stitchery Expo. And everybody works hard to do this show. But I just wanted to give a little shout out to the President of Baby Lock -- for actually WORKING IN THE BOOTH...(lol)...

Honestly. It is so obvious that Steve really does enjoy meeting his Baby Lock customers -- and he is a wonderful friend to our show. Last year, when we had a "machine emergency" -- the first place we went was to the Baby Lock booth. Steve not only bailed us out -- he personally loaded up six sewing machines and did all the heavy lifting...



Thanks to Steve, Baby Lock has been a big supporter of a local after school sewing program "Threads for Life". Started by of our CTA's -- Connie Tkach -- these kids have been featured in the national media -- and Connie was even interviewed by Nancy Zieman -- go here to watch the video...


Baby Lock supports the program with wonderful reliable, easy to use sewing machines that are perfect for the beginner...(or, if you are experienced and need an extra machine for your RV or vacation home).
One of Steve Jeffery's FAVORITE THINGS TO DO is to give away Baby Lock sewing machines. Here he is, last year, checking out the bag with all the door prize tickets...right before he went on stage to make the big dramatic DRAWING THE NAME OF THE WINNER...

This year, at Friday Night Live, with Martha Pullen -- Steve will not only be UP ON STAGE WITH HER (he was once a singing dancing member of Up With People)...but he will be giving away -- FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME --

FIVE BABY LOCK SEWING MACHINES. You read that right.

BABY LOCK WILL BE GIVING AWAY FIVE SEWING MACHINES AT OUR FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE EVENT WITH MARTHA PULLEN.

If you were lucky enough to get a ticket -- you could win the Anna -- or you could win the top-of-the-line Ellissimo -- or maybe something in between....



I HOPE YOU HAVE A TICKET for Friday Night LIVE. When I was working on this blog post, there were just a few tickets left. It's too late to purchase tickets online -- but when you get to the show -- you could check at the Ticket Booth. You might get lucky...

Steve Jeffery looked at the cost of the Goody Bags -- and realized that, instead of all that stuffing, packing, shipping, etc -- Baby Lock could, instead -- give away FIVE SEWING MACHINES.

Wow. FIVE SEWING MACHINES is a first for us. And we are delighted. THANK-YOU BABY LOCK. Thank you for being a part of one of the most exciting nights of entertainment in the sewing industry. Thank you for doing all you do to share our love of sewing. Thank you for being such a wonderful partner...and for bringing us Nancy Zieman, Eleanor Burns, Martha Pullen -- and STEVE JEFFERY...!!
