Did you get a new or new-to-you sewing machine? Are you nervous about taking it out of the box or getting started? Would you like a little bit of encouragement as you get started with your machine sewing journey? I’ve been there too, staring at the unopened box with my new machine inside, scared to open it in case I accidentally messed something up. I remember that feeling, so we created a class just for you to get past that nerve-wracking time!
Come join me for a Meet Your Machine class! We’ll talk about the different parts of your machine, look over your owners manual, and practice some stitching together to help make it less scary.
This class is truly the beginning-est of beginner classes, so it’s a 1 strawberry out of five for difficulty level.
