Sewing Techniques


Absolute Beginners Sewing Classes are a fun and simple way to learn to sew. Tuesday evenings are Beginners Sewing project night! 

In these classes you will learn:
~ How to thread up a sewing machine
~ How to use and alter stitch lengths, stitch width and the many types of standard and decorative sewing stitches available on sewing machines.
~ Learn about loading a bobbin, inserting a bobbin, the bobbin case and how the bottom thread of the sewing machine works to enable the stitch to be made.
~ We will also go through sewing machine tension.
~ How to change sewing machine needles and why different needles are used and how they are inserted.
~ We have a look at the sewing machine feet, such as the zip foot, piping foot and button hole.

In the second half of the sewing class we will start a small project which will get you used to choosing and cutting different types of fabric, laying fabric, chalking out (simply) from a pattern, and cutting.

The techniques learnt in this section of the class include: -

~ Simple sewing techniques, Seam allowance, pressing and machine control and generally getting comfortable within a sewing environment.

The sewing lessons start at 6.30 / 7pm and last till around 9..00 pending on the abilities in the class. Please do arrive promptly or phone if you are running late as we want to get as much as we can achieved in the evening session.
