MACHINE SEWING CLASS: Sewing Machine Basics

Please note: We require proof of vaccination to attend class in person. Additionally, we require masks to be worn during the class. If you purchase a ticket and cannot adhere to either of these rules or cannot attend class for any reason, we will offer an exchange to another class on our schedule up to 48 hours before the class. After that time, no refunds or exchanges are issued out of respect for our teachers who purchase and prepare supplies based on the number of attendees.

Do you have a sewing machine that you’d like to use, but find the whole thing intimidating? Take this class, and you’ll be sewing in no time. You’ll learn to thread your machine, what all the different settings do and basic troubleshooting, as well as enough basic sewing skills to get you going on your sewing journey.

Please have your machine serviced prior to class. Bring the manual (pdfs are widely available online), all accessories and cords. Fabric and thread provided.

This in-person class will take place at Monster, 1716 NW Market St. We are kitty-corner from Mighty-O Donuts. 

Class attendees receive a 20% discount on any same-day purchases at Monster (excluding original art, gift cards and class tickets).
