Bunney & Thread

I'm Rachel Bunney and I'm on a mission.to help as many people as possible to get the most out of their sewing and embroidery machines! And to prove that embroidery isn't just for old ladies! I'm here to help you with all of your sewing and embroidery questions, issues, dilemmas, sticking points, queries and quandaries! During my 10 years working as one of only two product specialists for Brother Sewing Machines UK, I visited many independent sewing shops and met thousands of creative people, all wanting to learn more about their machines and to ask advice about their sewing or embroidery projects. I would offer 1:1 and group tuition - whatever was needed - but I always felt I couldn't give enough help as I was travelling so much around the country. Customers always wanted me to come back sooner than I was able to, so they could learn even more. I became a mum in March 2020 - so not only did the world change but my life changed dramatically at the same time. Once my maternity leave ended and with everything moving more online, I made the leap to launch Bunney & Thread to provide sewing and embroidery tuition for anyone struggling or needing guidance with their machines or software, with the aim to be able to give as much help as people needed. To keep my own creativity in check, I also decided to open my online embroidery shop - a bespoke embroidery service for those personalised, one of a kind gifts. So if you're not able to make it yourself, head over to my shop and I'll make it for you.
