Welcome to Ruthies Notions blog, my name is Ashton for any of you who do not know me. I have been working for Ruthie for four years now. When I started working for Ruth I was completely new to embroidery. I had no idea what stabilizer was, needles, bobbins, or which thread to use to even get started to create a simple project. The only type of crafting I had done prior was painting or helping my granny sew together blankets or doll clothes (she did most of the work but I helped).
Many have asked how it all started? Well, Ruthie called me one day and asked me if I would be interested in a Babylock Elegante sewing and embroidery machine. Of course, I wanted it I have always been intrigued by the beauty of being creative with these machines. From there I had some training in which I was grasping great or so I thought. Until I got home and realized I really enjoyed the comfort of Andi being there with me. I had no idea where to even get started, it was like I almost just completely forgot everything she had taught me because I was so nervous I would hurt the machine.
