Event Overview
Do you have a sewing machine or are planning to buy one but don't know how to use it. This is a basic class that will get you started using your own machine.
In this 1.5 hour class we will cover basics of sewing machine - If you don't have one, this class will cover what to look for while purchasing your 1st sewing machine, wind bobbin and thread your machine. We will go over the trouble shooting and how to maintain your machine as well. You will not make any project in this class but will sure get to practice on the machine to get the feel of what we learned.
This class will give you confidence and comfort with all the information and helpful tips you need before you start your first project.
It is a great class for someone who has never sewn before and wanting to get started.

Erin M.Reviewed on 12/02/16Great intro class. I had no knowledge of machine sewing at all so I did not want to take a class that put me on a machine right away. In this class you learn the terms and all about the tools you will need to get you started. Now I feel like I would be comfortable enough to try the next step and maybe take a class that I could practice on a machine. The teacher is awesome. She has a great personality and genuinely wants you to learn and enjoy. She has other classes that I intend to try. Bonus points for being right off of public transportation. Clark bus, Halsted bus, red line... very close!
