In this class you will start with the basics to get to know your machine and then progress to maintenance, tips and tricks from the tech, and troubleshooting. There is a question and answer period at the end of class so that you go home confidant with your machine.

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

Students are encouraged to bring their own sewing machine, but there are machines available for use in the classroom if necessary.

if necessary, introduction to working with a serger (provided in class if you do not own one), and elastic installation.
