By the age of 20 she was teaching classes in quilting, a subject that she covered for several years during her off hours as a civil and municipal draftsperson.

With a love for the Victorian Era it was only natural that Debra would fall in love with Heirloom Sewing. Labours of Love was established in 1990 offering a selection of Vintage styled patterns, fine fabrics and French Laces. She has produced how to DVD's, "Precious Petticoats" an Introduction to Heirloom Sewing and Sew You Want To Get Fancy. Her work has been featured in publications such as Sew News, Sewing Decor and The Creative Machine. Debra's first book Modern Machine Techniques was a best seller and her second Learn to Sew With Your Feet soon followed.
