About Me

I am the owner of Purely Gates Embroidery. I do all of my own digitizing and love every moment of it. I am married and have 3 kids and live in Missouri City, Texas. I have been sewing my whole life (since age 5) and have been doing machine embroidery since 1999. I also quilt. I have taught classes on machine embroidery and embroidery software. I split my time digitizing and working at a local sewing machine/quilt shop where we are really big on machine embroidery. I own Baby Lock machines and wouldn’t own anything else! I have a 6 needle embroidery machine as well as a home sewing/embroidery machine.

All of my designs are test sewn and are digitized as efficiently as possible. My goal for my designs is little or no jump stitches and as few color changes as possible (as long as it does not affect the integrity of the design). I have been embroidering for years and know the value of a well digitized design and don’t think that you should expect anything less! My designs are sold in the shop where I work and samples of my designs are displayed everywhere in the form of project quilts. My customers always comment as to how well my designs stitch out. If you are ever in town, please come visit me at Little Stitches Sewing Center in Missouri City, Texas. Click here for their website.
