Penny has taught all over the world (US, Canada,Australia, New Zealand, and Japan)

As Penny's students will tell you her classes are anything but boring. Laughter and positive encouragement are a natural part of her curriculum. She truly believes humor adds to the learning experience and actually helps the students retain the pertinent information. They remeber the crazy fish dance and how it actually relates to digitizing! (It really does!)

As an author and speaker, Penny shares her knowledge and enthusiasm for digitizing with students worldwide. Penny's simple, insightful explanations make mastering even difficult techniques easy, even for beginners.

Her design shortcuts and atypical use of the software enables students to produce quality designs quickly. She has stopped many a student from giving up digitizing by opening their eyes with understandable explanations of why things happen and how to do what they want! Attendees leave with notes and samples that allow them to apply her techniques to their own designs.

Students and other fiber artists seek out her classes because Penny always includes a trunk show of her award winning wearables. These designs are as induvidual and unique as their creator and are great for getting students to think outside the box.
