Instructor Name:
Mary Yoder
Instructor Bio:
Over 40 years ago, Mary made her first quilt from leftover scraps from garment sewing, backed
it with a purchased blanket, and called it a quilt. She continued making quilts but did not like
finishing them on her domestic sewing machine. When she saw the HQ Sixteen?, Mary knew
it was for her. Once the Pro-Stitcher? came out she added it to her machine and now loves
finishing her quilts using Pro-Stitcher along with other free motion techniques. Mary has now
upgrade to a HQ Forte? and is loving the extra space it gives her.

Mary has taught different aspects of sewing for over 20 years. She has enjoyed focusing her
teaching skills toward the art of quilting and is excited to have joined Handi Quilter as an
Educator.
