Sewing Machine Basics

A complete beginners sewing class.

Learn the basics of using a sewing machine - from threading it up to gaining confidence & getting started stitching. We will cover:

1. Threading the machine

2. Winding a spool correctly

3. What all the different stitches are for & when to use them

4. Checking tension

5. How to sew in a straight line

6. Tips & advice to give you confidence to start your 1st project

7. Certificate of completion to progress onto other classes

These are small classes, maximum of 4, where you can learn in a supportive & friendly environment.

Don't worry if you don't have a machine, this is a great opportunity to use one in the studio, I can give you advice if you're looking to buy a new machine.

If you're bringing your own machine, then don't forget to bring all the bits & bobs that came with it - pedal, power cable, instructions etc.** If you need specs to thread the needle bring those too!

This is a great introduction if you want to progress onto any of the other courses & workshops on offer, a fab gift for someone wanting to learn to sew or for someone who is getting a new machine as a gift for a birthday or Christmas.

*Please note there are stairs going up to the studio & the loos are downstairs. There is free parking right outside, ideally located in the centre of Horbury. Refreshments are provided plus fabric, thread & basic sewing tools to sew any samples.
