A day for real beginners

This one-day class is the perfect fit for you if you have just started out, or have never even used a sewing machine before. We will teach you:

How to wind a bobbin.

How to thread your machine, top and bottom.

How to balance your tensions.

How to choose an appropriate stitch.

Changing stitch length.

Changing stitch width.

Changing your needle and your presser foot.

Different needle types and different presser feet - why you would choose one over the other

You will feel comfortable using a machine so that together we can make a small sewing project together, like a tote bag, by the end of the class.

This class is designed to help you gain the confidence you need to continue your sewing journey once you get home. Learning some of the basic rules of sewing will give you the best start to help you flourish in your new hobby.
