Digitizer's Profile   

Visit Designs 4 Africa's  Embroidery Site

Stephanie first became interested in embroidery in 1997. And 12 years ago started digitizing and her part time business, Designs 4 Africa, was born.
She lives on a farm in the country and has been married to Kobus for 29 years. She has 3 children, 1 lovely daughter in law and 2 very precious grandchildren.
Stephanie loves to learn new things through online courses, reading and also enjoys sewing and knitting. She also enjoys being with her family.
As for the growth of her business she would like to learn more digitizing techniques and increase her customer base. Also she is always striving to be professional and provide excellent service to her customers. She loves any digitizing technique and would like to explore more quilting techniques.
She says, “I always was an avid knitter, but never wanted to do any sewing. When I was blessed with a daughter in 1988 after 2 sons, I suddenly wanted to make a dress! After buying my first sewing machine and many sewing courses later, the Bernina 180 with embroidery module came out. As I am very interested in computers, I definitely wanted this machine and the Artista Embroidery software. Since then I never looked back. I love digitizing and feel very privileged to have a work I am so passionate about.”
