Build Your Sewing Confidence – One Stitch at a Time
If you have a machine but don't know where to start - or don't have a machine and want to try - This is for you!
Join a 2-hour group sewing session at Downey House, Royton, designed to help you gain confidence and attempt a small project.
Bring your own sewing machine or borrow one of mine. I provide all the materials, guidance, and encouragement.
In this class I will show you how to -
Thread you machine / Understand tension / Changing the needle / Simple maintenance / Stitch length / What all the dials do / Starting and stopping / Backtacking / Winding the bobbin / Hints and tips / Top stitching / Changing Direction and lots more...
We will practice examples together, and you'll go away with confidence you need to start a simple project.
