Beginner. These classes are designed for students who already know how to sew a simple seam with backstitch at start and end.  They include all materials and the use of a sewing machine.  Please note that due to time constraints, students may bring their own machines ONLY if it includes a walking foot and the student knows how to thread it, change the needle, wind/change the bobbin, select a stitch, change the foot, and adjust tension. Students using one of our machines are not required to know these things.  Email us if you’d like to schedule a 90-minute private lesson to learn how to use your personal machine.
