Are You Ready For Class?
Get Started The Right Way
Planning on taking a class with a new machine or "new to you" machine? We will help you get ready to sew before your class. Once you have registered for a class, call to book a one-on-one lesson to get to know your machine. Learn the basics - winding a bobbin, threading the machine, settings, use of feet, and a little essential maintenance. You'll get more enjoyment from the class when you are familiar and comfortable with your machine. We may recommend a tune up.
