Sewing Machine 101 Class

This class is for you if you’re uneasy around your sewing machine or it’s been awhile since you’ve used yours. We will show you how easy it is to operate and maintain, so that you will become a person who loves to sew! Use our equipment or yours** to learn the basics of operating, care, threads, needles, tools, and fabrics.

**If you have a machine at home that you don’t know how to use, you are encouraged to bring it. Please make sure the machine operates well(i.e. it actually makes proper stitches), and bring your manual, foot pedal, electric cord to plug it in, and feet and bobbins.
