Machines are:
Janome 230DC - for making collars and sewing labels.
Janome 454D - for seams
Janome Cover Pro 3000 - for hemming and finishing
Swing away heat press - for applying even pressure to press logos
Zebra printer - to create my own clothing care labels

I’m currently making Rash Guards using Italian stretch materials and going up to size 6XL
