Essential Brights
Summer Days by Kaye F. England
September is National Sewing Month! While at first glance this may seem like just another wacky event manufactured by the greeting card industry, National Sewing Month was actually instituted to recognize the importance of the home sewing industry. At the request of the American Home Sewing & Craft Association, President Ronald Reagan, on September 21, 1982, declared the month of September as National Sewing Month. Additional proclamations were made in 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1988. They state that “Tens of millions of Americans sew at home. Their efforts demonstrate the industry, the skill, and the self-reliance which are so characteristic of this Nation.” There are so many forms of “home” sewing that we can’t begin to list them all. There is embroidery, needlepoint, garment sewing, home dec, and of course, quilting. Just think of all the different machines, fabrics, supplies and notions that have been created just for our passion. Imagine how important fabric and sewing products are to our economy and how many businesses and people are supported by the “home sewing” industry. Home sewing certainly deserves it’s own month. President Reagan wasn’t the first president to recognize the importance of sewing. Do you know which president gave the following advice to his daughter? “In the country life of America there are moments when a woman can have recourse to nothing but her needle for employment. When one is in dull company and it is poor taste to read, or simply leave, the needle is a valuable resource.”

The Company started out manufactuing sewing machines for industrial use only. All that changed when the first PFAFF for home use was introduced in 1931. For 152 years, the PFAFF name has been synonymous with excellence in sewing.
