Level 0: Assumes you’ve never used a sewing machine
Have you ever wanted to learn to use a sewing machine? Maybe you’re rusty and need a refresher? Intimidated by zippers? Or maybe you got a new machine and want a fun and easy project to learn. This pillow class is a great place to start.
This 3 hour class will cover:
Tour of the machine
How to thread and wind a bobbin
Basic stitch practice with samples to take home
Pressing and pinning technique
Learning to work with a zipper and make a hidden zippered enclosure
This class is part of our machine basics series and will cover threading and using a sewing machine. You do not need to know how to sew—we will teach you! We have enough basic sewing machines available in the studio and you don’t need to bring one, but if you have one at home that you would prefer to learn on please reach out to us at classes@boltfabricboutique.com. You’ll find more information about our class levels here!
Taught by Laura Bentz.
