This class is for any standard sewing machine to help you learn how to get the ultimate use of the machine.
This is a techniques based class. We are not making 'projects' but rather learning all the different features and applications of the machine. We will be incorporating both quilting and decorative stitching using a variety of threads, needles, and feet.
All skill levels are welcome to attend. We will incorporate basic cutting and stitching skills as it relates to quilting and then add the decorative stitches and embellishments.
Sewing techniques like adding embellishments, inserting zippers, and transferring design patterns to your fabric will be discussed.
Each club class will focus on a different topic. Our sample sizes we make in class will be no larger than a placemat (12 x 18 inches).
Each class will have a PowerPoint demonstration on why you use a specific foot, accessory or function on your machine. Detailed written handouts will be available also. Then stay and sew to master your machine.
Perfect for all levels of sewers and quilters.
