This four-session class is perfect for beginners and intermediate beginners. We will cover the very basics of machine sewing, from threading machines to picking appropriate fabrics for projects to learning how to use sewing tools. Sewing machines are provided for use, or you are welcome to bring your own machine as long as it’s in good working order.
