Teacher Bio

Margaret Sweete has been working as a SVP Canada Freelance Educator representing 
SINGER®, HUSQVARNA® VIKING® & PFAFF® since 2007.  
Her creative passion started at the age of 10 utilizing her mom’s SINGER® sewing machine creating garments and quilting. Over the years, her interests expanded to include garment sewing, quilting and embroidery for personal use.  This passion subsequently led her to learning more about the expanding sewing industry including new software and hardware technologies.  Whenever Margaret travels, she seeks out classes, stores, textile museums and other inspirations to enrich her knowledge of fabric and sewing techniques for hand and machine use.   This solid sewing comprehension was a natural fit for Margaret to become an Educator to share her extensive knowledge with others who have similar creative desires.  She is passionate about sitting down with new hardware and software technologies and learning about their capabilities.  

Margaret is known for sharing her knowledge of this expanding sewing industry through 
exquisite and inspirational samples that show various techniques, sewing products and 
machines.  Her classes will excite novice and veteran sewers and give them a solid basis to produce their own unique designs. She is able to take difficult concepts and help individuals be better able to utilize their own machines to their fullest potential. 
Some of Margaret’s original projects have been featured in “A Needle Pulling Thread” 
magazine. She also  blogs for the online magazine “Quilt Social”.
