forever. I found this out in my second year of college. My Mother bought a new sewing machine and seeing everything it could do inspired me to change my major from Accounting to Clothing and Textiles! I discovered true happiness through inspiration of fabrics, sewing techniques, thread colors and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My passion for textiles has taken me all over the country teaching others how to tap into their creative potential. I have been honored with many awards, written for national magazines, speak at trade shows and continue to travel nationally to educate others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My passion for textiles has taken me all over the country teaching others how to tap into their creative potential. I have been honored with many awards, written for national magazines, speak at trade shows and continue to travel nationally to educate others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know the feeling of seeing what a sewing machine can do, which prompted me to open Ready Set Sew! It is so rewarding to be a part of the process that awakens the creativity in others. It is a sense of excitement like no other. What I did not anticipate was that we were creating something much bigger. We are not just a sewing machine store, but a place to forge new friendships and develop a sense of community. Whether you are a newcomer to the area or a native Chattanoogan, we welcome you to your new sewing home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I decided to carry Janome, Babylock, and Elna machines, it was because of my research and 40 years of sewing experience. I wanted to have the best machines to offer with the widest range of pricing for every skill level of quilting, sewing and serging. Let me offer a sincere invitation to stop in and experience Ready Set Sew! I feel we have the most knowledgeable staff to assist you with your questions about our quality fabric selection, machines, notions, classes and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without our customers, we would be just another sewing machine store, a bolt of fabric would just be a bolt of fabric. You are the magic that makes Ready Set Sew come to life! Thank You!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"72\" src=\"https:\/\/www.readysetsewtn.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/signature-melanie.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9827\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Melanie Coakley, Owner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color has-vivid-red-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the latest TV interview with Melanie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Read set sew 12 6 21\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/315XSL_m-2Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"mega-menu-wrap-max_mega_menu_3\" class=\"mega-menu-wrap\"><div class=\"mega-menu-toggle\"><div class=\"mega-toggle-blocks-left\"><\/div><div class=\"mega-toggle-blocks-center\"><\/div><div class=\"mega-toggle-blocks-right\"><div class='mega-toggle-block mega-menu-toggle-animated-block mega-toggle-block-0' id='mega-toggle-block-0'><button aria-label=\"Toggle Menu\" class=\"mega-toggle-animated mega-toggle-animated-slider\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                  <span class=\"mega-toggle-animated-box\">\n                    <span class=\"mega-toggle-animated-inner\"><\/span>\n                  <\/span>\n                <\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><ul id=\"mega-menu-max_mega_menu_3\" class=\"mega-menu max-mega-menu mega-menu-horizontal mega-no-js\" data-event=\"hover_intent\" data-effect=\"fade_up\" data-effect-speed=\"200\" data-effect-mobile=\"disabled\" data-effect-speed-mobile=\"0\" data-mobile-force-width=\"false\" data-second-click=\"go\" data-document-click=\"collapse\" data-vertical-behaviour=\"standard\" data-breakpoint=\"500\" data-unbind=\"true\" data-mobile-state=\"collapse_all\" data-mobile-direction=\"vertical\" data-hover-intent-timeout=\"300\" data-hover-intent-interval=\"100\"><li class=\"mega-menu-item mega-menu-item-type-post_type mega-menu-item-object-page mega-menu-item-1807\" id=\"mega-menu-item-1807\"><a class=\"mega-menu-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.readysetsewtn.com\/index.php\/cabinets\/\" tabindex=\"0\">Cabinets<\/a><\/li><li class=\"mega-menu-item mega-menu-item-type-post_type mega-menu-item-object-page mega-menu-item-1812\" id=\"mega-menu-item-1812\"><a class=\"mega-menu-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.readysetsewtn.com\/index.php\/designs\/\" tabindex=\"0\">Designs<\/a><\/li><li class=\"mega-menu-item mega-menu-item-type-post_type mega-menu-item-object-page mega-menu-item-1811\" id=\"mega-menu-item-1811\"><a class=\"mega-menu-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.readysetsewtn.com\/index.php\/fabrics-projects\/\" tabindex=\"0\">Fabrics<\/a><\/li><li class=\"mega-menu-item mega-menu-item-type-post_type mega-menu-item-object-page mega-menu-item-1963\" id=\"mega-menu-item-1963\"><a class=\"mega-menu-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.readysetsewtn.com\/index.php\/machines-sewing-quilting-embroidery-serger\/\" tabindex=\"0\">Machines<\/a><\/li><li class=\"mega-menu-item mega-menu-item-type-post_type mega-menu-item-object-page mega-menu-item-1810\" id=\"mega-menu-item-1810\"><a class=\"mega-menu-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.readysetsewtn.com\/index.php\/software\/\" tabindex=\"0\">Software<\/a><\/li><li class=\"mega-menu-item mega-menu-item-type-post_type mega-menu-item-object-page mega-menu-item-1809\" id=\"mega-menu-item-1809\"><a class=\"mega-menu-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.readysetsewtn.com\/index.php\/stabilizers-batting\/\" tabindex=\"0\">Stabilizer & Batting<\/a><\/li><li class=\"mega-menu-item mega-menu-item-type-post_type mega-menu-item-object-page mega-menu-item-1929\" id=\"mega-menu-item-1929\"><a class=\"mega-menu-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.readysetsewtn.com\/index.php\/thread\/\" tabindex=\"0\">Thread<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Us You never know in the course of a day what events will take place that can change your life forever.
