phyllis clark is a Martha pullen licensed instructor

My primary goal for all of the classes, seminars, and programs offered is to provide a continuing excitement about our Husqvarna Viking sewing machines, Huskylocks, and products. All of my classes are hands-on that allow “bonding” between the customer and her/his machine and dealer to occur.

 

I have taught clothing construction since 1984, and Husqvarna Viking classes with all of our products since 1996, and am very familiar with all models. I love to show how easy it is to sew with all of our models, and endeavor to pass that enthusiasm on to each customer and have them become excited also.

I specialize in Huskylock classes that go from the basics of sergers to the use of them in Home Dec, Garment Construction, Heirloom, and Quilting. I like to show the possibilities that are around, and how easy using a Huskylock can be. I also teach clothing construction that is easy to understand, and show how our Husqvarna Viking sewing machines and Huskylocks make it even easier – therefore, guaranteeing success! I will also work at shows, events for you demonstrating features of all models.

I live in California and have traveled throughout the United States teaching both locally and nationally. I have worked for a Husqvarna Viking dealer, and for New Business Development.

Background:

Instructor, Chico State University, CA – Clothing Construction I,II, and III
