Stitch Basics Beginner Sewing Class

This one-time, 3-hour session is designed to teach you how to confidently use a sewing machine. In this class, you’ll learn:

• Machine Setup: How to prepare your machine for sewing, including threading, winding bobbins, and matching threads.
• Industry Terms & Techniques: Familiarise yourself with common sewing terminology and techniques.
• Tool Basics: Gain skills with essential sewing tools like fabric scissors, pins, rulers, and marking tools, along with aligning pattern pieces.
• Fabric Selection: How to choose the right fabrics for your projects.
• Ergonomics & Safety: Learn best practices for maintaining a comfortable and safe sewing environment.

All of this is taught in a relaxed atmosphere. You have the option to bring your own sewing machine or learn on one of ours.

Important: It’s essential to complete our “Stitch Basics” class to get familiar with the sewing machine. This ensures you have the necessary skills, as our other classes won’t cover these foundational techniques. If you already possess these skills, feel free to book directly into our other classes.
