Amazing…Once again Christopher was truly amazing. He wowed them with
an actual full view look at a tote made from the bronze leatherette
and also the stitch out of the design with the stones around them.He gave Mary Hess a beautiful white bag. We were allowed to look but
not touch. Lol But at lease we got to see the entire bag. Can't wait
for the book. This store was first class as well as the wonderful staff. They had
one of every machine for Christopher to use and 8 new 12 needle
embellisher machine for the attendees to use. Janie and I got our
feet wet this time. We stood behind people as they punched, free
motioned and ribbon work. Janie and I also got to demo punching.
Let me tell you something, if you are serious about teaching
Christopher Nejman's classes, you definitely need to go to his
seminars or workshops. We learned a lot about techniques and
pillows, but I believe we have only scratched the surface for
actually doing the job.
I had to leave early this afternoon for the drive home, so I am sure
a whole lot more went on. The crowd is so receptive to Chris's every
word and just can't get enough. He gave some folks home work
yesterday and a half a dozen or more came back today with it done.
He told them to digitize their signatures. One lady didn't have a
scanner, she did a beautiful job of using points in here software
and was so thankful to have been pushed to do this and what she
accomplished, even without a scanner. She didn't know she had it in
her. I almost cried when she thanked him.
Well , as you can tell I come home all revved up and I need to
unwind. Janie is a wonderful lady and her (Kung Fu Mom) is an
absolute delight. I was thrilled to get to meet them and it felt
like we were friends for a long time. I know she can't wait to jump
on her new 12 needle, we got some great info on using it. I did some
other shopping. What a store! Good thing I was only here for 2
days. -

People, if you ever get a chance to see CN in person...eat pork &
beans. It's SEW worth it. (take plenty of money or plastic so
many good things to purchase.) I came home inspired, motivated,
courageous, and totally on cloud 9. I bought my Embellisher in early
June, just before the new 12 needle came out. I didn't even take it
out of the box until the seminar because I was so intimidated by it.
(But now it is special...signed by the man himself, Thanks
Christopher) I haven't done much sewing in several years, even tho I
keep *collecting* machines, notions, STASH, etc, because I lacked
MOTIVATION. I'm not a crafty person by nature, but show me what you
have done, and I can attempt it, but I can't come up with ideas on my
own. Old timers disease??!!
Didn't mean to write a book, but I'm just excited! Gotta go finish
mowing the yard and then upstairs to my sewing room to play!!!
I'd love to hear other peoples take on things. - Melinda in Tulsa
Customer Testimonials
I know you have a million emails, but I felt compelled to try and get
this message out to you. I just completed your class in Oklahoma City
and you have touched my life tremendously. Your gift and love for the
thread art and life has inspired me and uplifted me giving me a new
spring and joy in my life. I can't thank you enough for sharing your
knowledge and time with all of us these past two days, I am a punching
addict now, and a great admirer of your work and website.
I'm a new person now inside thanks to you! - Terry Flinn
I just wanted to take a moment to thank Christopher for a job well
done, and also to take a moment to thank the staff at B Sew-Inn, Tulsa,
Oklahoma for putting on such a great show. -
Thanks Bill and Cheryl
My mom made a friend there who e-mailed us last night. (We left about
3pm for the drive home - didn't want to be on the highway at night with
my mom) and a WONDERFUL thing happened. There was a little 9 year old
girl there with her grandmother. She couldn't come the first day, but
jumped right in trying out everything and taking pictures. Mom's
friend said that the store gave her an embellisher and a denim bag full
of goodies when the seminar was over. ALSO, Christopher auctions off
his samples with the proceeds going to the local children's hospital or
charity (he also did this in Nashville) and Mary Hess, the owner,
matched the proceeds!!! I wasn't there to see the net amount, but saw
them counting the money and it looked like a lot. I can't tell you how
wonderful it is to see all those women - AND MEN so enthused about this
medium. One guy was at both the Oklahoma City AND the Tulsa show - he
not only did the homework, but he embellished a square, used opal
sliver FMSS and then embroidered a Christmas design in the middle!
There were some wonderful "show and tell" items! You can't imagine
until you see Christopher in action. He gives so much more than you
can believe to everyone in these shows. It is indeed non-stop action
and information! - Janie
