New to sewing?  Learned in Junior High and need a refresher course?  Need to learn how to put in a zipper?  If these are the kinds of things you want to know about sewing, then, this is the class for you.  This class includes a wonderful workbook that you can refer to long after you have finished your lesson.  Donna is an experienced teacher and professional seamstress with loads of patience!  Don’t be afraid–jump right in!

Machines will be provided.

Yippee!  If you own a Viking Husqvarna Embroidery machine:  Designer Topaz 20, 30, SE, SE/LE, Ruby, Ruby Deluxe, Diamond and Diamond Deluxe, then you received a program that includes QUICK FONT.  Chances are, you never got the chance to use it–but now, Sandy will show you how to create new lettering fonts to use with your embroidery unit.  You need your PC with TT fonts (True Type).  For this class, however, you will need to bring your Windows-based laptop.

Make this fun pillowcase dress from leftover scraps, fabric from your stash or maybe a trip to the fabric store!  Use lots of fun Prints and trims and just have fun!  It is a one size fits all 2-6 dress but the fit is easy and all that really matters is length.  To enlarge just move the pattern an inch or so from the fold and add strips of fabric as needed to achieve the size you want.  These can easily be made as a top for teens and adults.

Have you seen Donna’s adorable sewing machine-dust cover?  It’s the one with the black, red and white cherry fabric–but you can make yours out of your favorite theme fabric.  Even beginning sewers can whip this up in her 3-hour class.  Pick up your supplies–fabric, thread and ribbon–before class.  If you don’t have a machine, you can use one of ours.  Just let Donna know before you come!

This is one of Sandy’s most popular computer class.  If you have the 5D Pro System, you can create a design to stitch out (in class, IF we have time) on your fluffy bath towel.  The embossing is created by negative space.  Confused?  Don’t be–Sandy will explain it all!

Sandy teaches this wonderful technique for creating a simple pieced and machine quilted throw.  She uses a unique 3-layer reversible sewing and quilting method.  No additional quilting is needed.  You add the binding later and the quilt is finished.

Have you seen the wonderful Recipe Towel packs by Inspira and Lunch Box Quilts?  Stop by the store to pick up a pack and come to the FREE class to learn how to embroider your new design.  The Inspira Italian pack includes the toweling material.  Class fills quickly, so sign up soon to receive your supply list.

Block 11 will require our Specialty Candlewicking foot. Candlewicking, in case you didn’t know, is a series of French knots that create a dotted line to form a pattern. Many of the designs are very delicate, tone on tone details that add texture to your fabric.

If you have our original candlewicking foot, feel free to bring it along. Our specialty foot has a deeper & wider groove to fit over the newer stitches built in to our sewing machines.

Come see the possibilities.
