Sewing Machine essentials: Bernette 37 & 38 - Jaret




In this class, you will start with the basics to get to know your machine, and then progress to maintenance, tips and trick from the tech, troubleshooting and finishing with a questions and answer period.

Our favourite part about this class is that although it is geared to be a starting point to learn your new machine, it is not only for beginner sewists. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of your machine, or just have a refresher this class is a great option for you.

Class fee is waived for machines purchased at That Sewing Place. If you have purchased you machine at That Sewing Place and would like to register, please contact the shop, and we will take care of registration for you.

Jeanne PJ Set - Yvette




It includes a long-sleeve, round-neck top with ribbed neckband and cuffs. The pyjama bottoms are slim-fit, the waist elastic hits at the belly button, and the cuffs are finished with ribbed ankle cuffs.
An easy-to-wear pyjama set that is also very easy to make. It is a wonderful pattern for beginners or a first sewing project for knits. You can practice on a smaller size before making your own since the pattern bundles kids, teens and adult sizes (just like all Jalie patterns).
Recommended fabric: Jersey knit with 50% in the width and length, rib knit for cuffs

This is not a sew-along, you will take notes, observe and ask questions as the teacher demonstrates how to do each step. There will be homework in between classes.

January 16, 23, and 30, 2023 from 6:00pm - 7:00pm

Ask the Expert!


Margaret Asked: "My Presser foot lever is loose on my Brother vm5200, and when I move it doesn't lift the presser foot!! This happens on and off and I'm not sure what is triggering it!"

"Hi Margaret, I think we have a simple solution for this issue. The simple answer is turn on your machine, and try again.

Unlike all mechanical machines that use a spring in the presser foot lever, your machine has a motor that works with the lever. This is the case for many new electronic machines. This means, that unless the machine is turned on, it will not engage when you raise or lower the lever, thereby not moving your presser foot up and down.

If that doesn't work, please let us know and we will troubleshoot further to resolve the problem for you."

- Jaret the technical Expert
