SEW TECH - 201

Learn advanced machine techniques and try out different equipment, tools and stitches! Know the basics of sewing and want to level up your stitching game?! We got you covered! In our Sew Tech 201 workshop, we’ll give you a crash course on what your sewing machine can do and how to perfect your craft. Learn about different sewing needle types and threads, and how to match these to the fabric you are sewing. We’ll also test out presser feet, like a bias binding foot, roller foot, non-stick teflon foot, couching foot, and the hump jumper. Seam finishes, hems, installing a zipper and how to sew a button hole will also be covered. STITCH AND DESTROY owner and instructor, Haven DeAnglis, has been sewing for over 15 years and has a Bachelor in Fine Arts in Fiber and Textile Art. She has sewn for small and corporate businesses, as well as managed the FABSCRAP Philly Reuse Room fabric thrift store.
