Learning how to use a sewing Machine
30th January 2027 - £54 (VAT inclusive)
I will be teaching at the lovely new space upstairs at Unwind Newcastle Emlyn. It isn’t a huge space so spaces for the course are limited to 5 people maximum.
This course is for complete beginners, or people who would like a refresh on how to use a machine. You can bring your own machine or use one that I will supply.
During the day, will learn about:
The presser foot – understanding the uses of the presser foot, adding and removing different feet, zipper foot, free motion embroidery foot (get confident with your screwdriver)!
Winding a bobbin – it makes a difference if this isn’t done properly
Threading the machine – once you know you’ll never forget
Thread tension – this is a ‘biggy’
Stitch length & stitch width – stitch width settings and adjustments
Needles – types, changing etc
We will also learn about:
Fabric: different qualities and handle, grain lines
Stitching seams, turning corners etc
You will take home a technical file and samples so that you have reference of what you have learned.
TIMINGS:
10am until 4 with a break for lunch.
You can get tea, coffee and lunch in the lovely cafe downstairs if you wish.
