KBTC Sewing Shows and Recent Pledge Drive

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Quality Sewing employees and Sew Fun consultants answered the phone.

Do you watch the sewing shows on KBTC? They have a wonderful flight of sewing & quilting related sewing shows each Friday and Saturday morning. We are so lucky to have so many great sewing shows playing in our area! Many communities are lucky to have 1 or 2 sewing shows that play weekly and we have 8 different shows that play weekly. Thank you KBTC! Quality Sewing & Vacuum recently participated in the KBTC Pledge Drive. Many of our Sew Fun educators and staff answered  phones and took pledges! With the help of Baby Lock, our joint sponsor, we gave away two different Baby Lock machines (Baby Lock Sofia 2 & Baby Lock Eclipse DX serger) and tickets to the Nancy Zieman Love of Sewing Retreat on Jan 6, 7 & 8th at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. Plus everyone who pledged $35 or more received a ticket to the Northwest Quilt Craft & Sewing Festival and  a Quality Sewing Gift Card. Thank you to everyone who pledged and helped support public television and the sewing shows.

KBTC, Comcast Channel 12 airs a wonderful flight of sewing and quilting shows that broadcast every Friday and Saturday morning. The current schedule is below:

KBTC Pledge Drive This Saturday!

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Be sure to watch KBTC this Saturday morning October 9th from 9am to Noon. Not only will you see the wonderful flight of sewing and quilting shows that broadcast every Saturday, but you will see many Quality Sewing Sew Fun educators and staff answering the phones during the annual pledge drive. Before you say, “pledge drive, I don’t want to sit through that”, listen to what we are doing to help support sewing programs in the Great Northwest:

Pledge & You Could Win One of These Machines!

In conjunction with Baby Lock, our new joint sponsor, we are giving away two different Baby Lock machines! The Baby Lock Sofia 2 and a Baby Lock Eclipse DX serger! The Sofia 2 with USB is a perfect travel machine, a great 2nd machine or the ideal starter machine for someone who is just getting into sewing and wants a machine that’s fun and easy to use. The Baby Lock Eclipse serger has the amazing Jet Air Threading and will take your sewing to a new level. Everyone who pledges on Saturday morning will be entered into the drawing for the Baby Lock Sofia 2. We will draw the winner Saturday about Noon. The Eclipse DX serger will go to the individual who tenders the highest pledge on Saturday morning.

We are also going to donate 2 special classes that we have coming up this fall or winter. The Nancy Zieman Love of Sewing Retreat on Jan 6, 7 & 8th at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. See Nancy Zieman in person! A $299 Value. And the John Deer Embroidery Event October 30-31st at Mount Vernon Convention Center or November 6-7 at Puyallup Fairgrounds. A $69.99 Value. Everyone who pledges will be entered to win these events as well!

But that’s not all, to help support public television and keep sewing programs on the air, we will give everyone who pledges $35 or more a ticket to the Northwest Quilt Craft & Sewing Festival, a $10 Value and a Quality Sewing Gift Card. You will have to watch on Saturday to find out the full details! Plus KBTC has special gifts for everyone who pledges as well!

So don’t miss the fun. Look for us on TV and place or renew your pledge to help keep Sewing on the air in the Great Northwest.
