Instructor
Purcell, Bob
Bob Purcell has been in the sewing industry for 26 years. He and his wife, Heather, started and built one of the most successful specialized thread companies in the world. They sold that company in 2016, with the intent of enjoying life with family and grandchildren. Sadly, Heather passed away from cancer a few years later.
In 2023, Bob bought Y.L.I. Threads, a company with a 40-year history in the quilting, embroidery, and sewing world, and Bob is once again doing what he loves - educating the sewing world and supplying the world's best sewing products. For more information, visit ylithreads.com.
