You’ll learn to:

  • Use different presser feet (zipper foot, edge stitch foot, etc.)

  • Adjust tension, stitch length, and width for various fabrics

  • Sew neat zippers, curves, and top-stitching

  • Troubleshoot skipped stitches, puckering, and other common issues

  • Choose needles, threads, and settings for denim, knits, and delicate fabrics

Perfect for:

  • Graduates of our Intro class or equivalent experience

  • Self-taught sewists who want to clean up their technique

  • Anyone preparing to take our T-shirt or Patternmaking series
