BETSY CARLSONGrand Rapids, Michigan Making quilts is exciting—but leading others to become quilters or improve their technique is thrilling. Betsy Carlson is in her fifth year of sharing the joy of quilting with a BERNINA Q-Series to quilters throughout America as she visits dealerships and quilt shows as part of the BERNINA Event Team. Betsy quilts on a BERNINA Q-24 on a professional frame with Q-matic, finishing her own quilts and quilting for others. As a quilter, Betsy shares firsthand quilting experience and how a BERNINA Longarm can help any quilter improve their stitch quality, give them control over the completed quilt, and put money towards owning equipment instead of paying others for quilting. Event success comes from the presenter and dealer working together to set goals and understand who to invite. With many Creative Quilting and No Small Things under her belt, Betsy can help guide dealers towards successful strategies to maximize their investment in eventing. Betsy started sewing professionally at age 16 when she was mentored in alterations at a local clothing store. Her sewing has included garments, slipcovers, embroidery, bags, improvisational and traditional quilts. |
