Journal Cover Sewing

Sew your own Journal cover! Journal Included This is Class 1 in a 4 part sewing series! In this introductory sewing course, you will learn how to use a sewing machine and make unique and fun projects along the way. These projects are very much gift-worthy so you can learn how to sew and make special things for you or someone else. You can sign up for all four or take the classes individually. Bring your machine if you have one, otherwise you can use ours. If you're bringing your machine please read the "Sewing Machine Guidelines." This class will teach sewing and quilting all in one lovely project: a beautiful and unique quilted cover for a journal or sketch book. Skills Learned: -how to set up a sewing machine -sewing straight seams and corners -quilting -troubleshooting problems -cleaning and maintenance of a sewing machine PLEASE NOTE though that only in Class 1 (The Quilted Journal Cover) will you learn extensively about the sewing machine and different functions. Classes 2, 3 and 4 will be mostly focused on sewing the projects for those classes. You are welcome to bring your own sewing machine to ALL classes even if you don't take Class 1 as this reduces waiting time for the limited number of machines we have. Just know that our instructor will set up all machines if necessary in Classes 2, 3, and 4 so that those classes remain focused on completing the projects. ALL MATERIALS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR ALL CLASSES BUT PLEASE READ THE "SEWING MACHINE GUIDELINES" IF YOU'RE BRINGING A MACHINE. SEWING MACHINE GUIDELINES If you're bringing your sewing machine, please also bring: 1) PEDAL AND POWER CORD. Sometimes these are connected but sometimes they each have their own cord. 2) THE CORRECT BOBBIN UNIQUE TO YOUR MACHINE. You can check your user manual to verify the bobbin model number you need. The correct bobbin comes with any new machine but if your machine is second-hand be sure to verify you have the correct bobbin. If you don't have a user manual and cannot find one online then you can go to sewingpartsonline.com and search your model name and number and verify what bobbin is recommended. Or you can email our instructor at [email protected] if you're stuck. 3) THE STANDARD PRESSER FOOT. This is usually attached to the machine but just double check. 4) SPOOL PIN. This is usually on the machine but sometimes they break off. If you get stuck on anything, please email our instructor at [email protected]
