Hip Stitch Basics

This is where it begins! Learn the very basics, either on your own machine or use one of ours. You'll learn proper threading of your machine, winding the bobbin, basic straight and zig zag stitches, including length and width, all about needles and what they're for, and much more. Take a deep breath and dive in - let's start our sewing journey together! If you would like to use one of our machines, please let us know in the "notes" in your online shopping cart (while "checking out" when signing up for the class. If you can't find the notes in the shopping cart, feel free to just call/email the shop to request one of our machines for your class). For students under the age of 14, please sign up for Kids Camp or contact the store to schedule a private lesson.
We'll provide you with the fabric for a project you'll work on in class, and students will get a 15 percent in-store discount on fabric and other supplies and notions (day of class).

If you aren't sure when the last time your machine was serviced, you can bring it in a week ahead of class to have us run it through its paces. Want to use one of our machines? Just let us know in the "notes" area of your online shopping cart when you register that you need to use one of ours, or simply call/email the shop to let us know you need a machine. (If you call/email, please mention which session you are in).
