| Instructor Bio: | Adam Rateliff grew up wanting to be a teacher. During college, he thought he would be teaching accounting but now gets to share a true passion everyday with his followers. He would have never guessed that he would one day be an internationally recognized longarm teacher. Adam learned to sew at a young age. He remembers sitting and watching his mother in the kitchen, as she flipped her sewing machine out of the table and got to work. She taught him the basics of sewing and most of the fiber arts then. After college, while working as an accountant, he started quilting. This is where he found his love of BERNINA. Quilting became a part of his life, and he really found a passion and desire for it. Now he is happy to say that everyone in his family who sews, sews on a BERNINA. In 2016 Adam purchased his first longarm and has been teaching since. He isn't one to shy away from a challenge and will play until he finds a solution. He also brings a fresh view to the quilt world, looking for and taking out-of-the-box projects, and bringing them to the longarm, frequently with tutorials on his YouTube channel. He has been a national educator since 2018, teaching consumers how to use a longarm, but more importantly, showing new owners that anyone can do it. His favorite part of teaching is when a timid student leaves with a new machine. He has a strong history of successful events, working with retailers to ensure shared goals are met. You might know him as his social media personality Adam Sew Fun. In 2020, he started a successful channel that he is excited to welcome BERNINA to. He is so excited to join the BERNINA Events Team and can't wait to join you for some amazing classes. |
