Guy joined gather here in late February of 2019. His background in sewing and his curiosity were exactly what the position required. After spending a week at Bernina technical training and months working directly with Noah, Guy has become a confident technician servicing a variety of makes and models.

We are thrilled to introduce you to a longtime customer and a seasoned crafter, Molly, who came onboard full-time at the end of July.

This We Care Wednesday we would like to do what we can to help those families at the southern border. Founded in 1986 as the Refugee...
