help you get to know your machine!
About this Event
Have you purchased a sewing machine, but you’re putting off even getting it out of the box? Did you inherit a sewing machine you want to use, but have no idea where to start? Join us in Sewing for Beginners and we will do our best to help you get to know your machine!
OVERVIEW: Bring your sewing machine and our instructors will help you along the way. We will: - Learn the parts of a sewing machine. - Discover differences in machines. - Most common issues and how to fix them.
OBJECTIVES: Get to know your machine by making mistakes and using it!
