Deborah
Deborah has been with Coles since 2014 and balances a busy home life and part time working here. She loves sewing and (when she has the time!) she makes clothes for her kids, as well a home crafts. Deborah has a DESIGNER TOPAZ™ 40, an H-Class 100Q and an S15™ Overlocker and she is thinking of adding an Opal 690Q to her collection!
Catherine
Catherine is the member of shop floor staff that has been with us the longest, so most of you will have come across her at some time. She is our overlocker expert and runs all our overlocker classes, teaching the basics for new owners as well as more advanced techniques for people who have be using their overlockers for longer. She also teaches dressmaking and tailoring classes can give advice on all aspects of garment construction. She owns an Epic 2, a Designer Ruby, a Sapphire 960Q and, of course, an S25 overlocker.
Lee
Lee is our longest serving member of staff. He joined us in September 2009 as an apprentice sewing machine engineer and over the years has become an expert on sewing machines and overlockers, particularly the Husqvarna Viking models (both old and new!). He is now passing on his expertise to his own apprentice, George Farmer, and you if you're lucky you might see him out and about servicing machines.
