Make Friends with Your Sewing Machine!
In this 2-hour workshop, we'll get you up and running and ready to sew on your machine!
In the first hour, we'll help you wind a bobbin, thread your machine, and share what all the buttons and dials do.
In the second hour, you'll take what you've learned and sew up a cute coaster!
Note: This class is for those with a sewing machine in good working order. If you received your machine from a relative or purchased it at a garage sale, we recommend that you have it serviced before class to ensure it works. If you bring your machine to class and we determine that it is not working correctly, we will continue the class on our machine.
