Learn to Use the Sewing Machine - age 7 - adult
It's more a question of readiness than age.
You're ready to sew if you can:
tie your shoes in a neat bow, color inside the lines, and write your name in all same sized letters.
This is the first step in my brand new 4 level sewing curriculum. You must complete this lesson to become familiar with the sewing machine, and start level one classes. We will cover all parts of the sewing machine and their functions, such as the foot control, presser foot, take up lever, stop position, feed dogs, tension control, and the hand wheel.
You will learn to thread the machine and wind a bobbin as well as sewing straight seams both forward and reverse.
There's plenty of time to practice the fundamentals and build a solid foundation.
Leave with confidence knowing you're on your way to self- sufficient sewing,
and making fun things!
