Catherine Forsythe

Catherine Forsythe has always had a passion for sewing that began when she watched her mother sew almost everything she and her six siblings wore. Or maybe it was because she enjoyed learning as she sat with her mother who taught her the craft of hand quilting, carefully creating beautiful quilts using frames built by her dad. Because of her love for this art, she decided to make a career of it. The store was founded in 1950 and Catherine and her business partner, Shawn Jackson, strive daily to carry on the tradition of full customer service and support established there long ago.

Catherine was a stay-at-home mom of three children who are now grown. When they were small she operated a home-based sewing business and provided services such as custom garments, home dec items, alterations and bridal work. Now for many years she has enjoyed helping thousands of creative people who visit Sewing Machine Mart, not only to help them find what they need, but to admire and encourage their creative talents, and facilitating quick and easy solutions to their challenges. Combining those day-to-day efforts with the wonderful staff of instructors who teach classes regularly at the store, it is possible for anyone to learn and enjoy today’s technology in stitching!

Additionally, the store stocks and sells a full line of machines from basic to advanced, as well as servicing all makes and models of machines.  They stock everything you need to make your sewing, embroidery, monogramming and serging experience complete.
