About Me

Hi, I’m Lisa  Mariacher owner of soto and stitch— horse lover, personal assistant to many cats, proud Buffalo girl (Go Bills!), and the creative human behind Soto and Stitch.

Like most good stories, mine starts with a total disaster.

A few years ago, I trusted someone to repair my fancy $250 black wool horse cooler. When I pulled it out of the bag, I lost it — they’d sewn it up with neon yellow thread, going over the same spot multiple times in a thick zig-zag stitch.

I was horrified. But instead of sulking, I bought a sewing machine and a seam ripper, watched a mountain of YouTube tutorials, and taught myself how to sew. That one awful repair job turned me into a maker, fixer, and full-on fabric junkie — and here we are.

Recently, I discovered a soft, silent, reusable fastener that changed everything. It reduces sewing machine hiccups, makes crafting easier, and sparks all kinds of creative ideas. I knew I had to share it.

Thanks so much for stopping by — I truly can’t wait to see what you’ll create.
