Hi, I’m Mandy Chamberlin
I am a machine embroidery addict who turned a hobby into several businesses and one very enthusiastic community. Whether you are buying your first embroidery machine, need embroidery done, want a design digitised or fancy stitching your way through a mystery, you are in the right place. Pick your path below.
Where Would You Like to Go?
Embroidery Machines
New Zealand
Buying an embroidery machine is a big decision, and the support you get matters just as much as the machine itself. I specialise in Brother embroidery machines in New Zealand, with hands-on guidance, training and ongoing support so you feel confident long after your machine arrives.
Embroidery Services
New Zealand
Custom embroidery for businesses, teams and individuals around New Zealand. Whether it is two hundred uniforms or one special keepsake, it gets stitched with the same care, by me.
Embroidery Digitising
Worldwide
Anyone can make a design look good on a computer screen. What matters is how it actually stitches on fabric. I build embroidery files by hand for embroidery businesses and embroiderers all over the world.
Mystery, She Sewed
Worldwide
A stitch-along where storytelling and stitching come together. Uncover an embroidered mystery one clue at a time, alongside embroiderers who love a good whodunit as much as I do.
Learn With Mandy
NZ and online
Workshops, one-on-one tuition, business mentoring and speaking. If you want to get more from your machine or your embroidery business, start here.
Why Work With Me?
- I have done the thing, not just written about it. More than ten years selling machines, digitising designs, running production and teaching. Whatever has gone wrong in your hoop, chances are it went wrong in mine first.
- Trusted by a community of thousands. I founded NZ Machine Embroidery Addicts in 2017 because I could not find a community for Kiwi machine embroiderers, so I built one.
- Official credentials. Brother dealer, NZ Agent for Echidna Sewing and Halo dealer, backed by real local training and support.
- No pressure, ever. I would much rather help you choose the right machine than talk you into the wrong one. That approach built everything you see here.
