Take the mystery out of your sewing machine and gain the confidence to start creating! This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for anyone who owns a sewing machine but isn't quite sure how to use it—or wants a refresher on the basics. Bring your own machine and learn alongside an experienced instructor in a supportive, hands-on environment.

Throughout the class, you'll learn how to thread your machine, wind a bobbin, select stitches, adjust basic settings, troubleshoot common issues, and practice essential sewing techniques. By the end of the workshop, you'll feel comfortable operating your machine and ready to tackle future sewing projects with confidence.

Whether your machine has been sitting in the closet for years or you're opening the box for the very first time, this workshop is the perfect place to begin your sewing journey.
