  You're new to sewing...you just got a new machine…you want to start sewing some easy projects… or you need to do some mending… Well this is the course for you!

  In this introductory course we will walk through all the basics of using a sewing machine; threading the machine, winding a bobbin, thread tensioning, sewing a straight stitch, and general sewing practices!  

  Sewing machines are available to use however, if you own a machine (and it is currently in good working condition) you are more than welcome to bring it for the class. Becoming familiar with your own machine is always advantageous!

  Bringing a spool of good quality, all-purpose sewing thread and pair of embroidery scissors is recommended. All other materials will be provided in the class. 

  Class maximum is 5 students.
