Sewing Level 1: Machine Sewing for Absolute Beginners

This two hour workshop introduces absolute beginners to the fundamentals of machine sewing. It provides a structured environment for those who do not own a sewing machine or feel intimidated by the mechanics of stitching. Our goal is to demystify the process and prepare you for more advanced sewing projects like quilting and garment construction.

During this session, you will learn essential machine operations. Participants will practice setting up and threading a sewing machine, winding a bobbin, and changing needles. You will also master basic techniques such as stitching with a precise seam allowance, backstitching, and adjusting machine settings. We include dedicated time for troubleshooting common issues so you can solve problems independently.

This class is perfect for anyone eager to start their sewing journey with professional guidance. If you own a machine and prefer to learn on your own equipment, please register for our specific Get to Know Your Machine session instead. By the end of this course, you will have the confidence and practical skills required to advance to our Sewing Level 2 series.
