This year, we are introducing some new classes.  This month will be the premiere of our Babylock Serger Feet class.  If you own an Imagine, Enlighten, Evolution or Ovation, come and learn how to use the different presser feet.  This class will be held on the 1st Tuesday.  We will make a different project each month while working with a variety of presser feet.  Don't worry if you don't have the foot already; we will have some for you to borrow.  Call the store to check it out.  The class is $10 which just covers the cost of the project.

On the 3rd Tuesday, we are having our Embroidery In-The-Hoop class.  You don't even have to own an embroidery machine to participate in this class.  You can use one of ours.  A great way to try something new, learn a new technique or simply come and make a cute project.  Cost is $10 plus price of kit (will vary from $5-$15 depending on project).

In our Knit and Crochet class, you can learn that pattern that has been sitting there waiting for a chance to be made.  The teacher can help you learn any stitch and give you the confidence to create something beautiful.  Classes are held monthly on the 4th Tuesday at 5:30 pm.  Fee is just $10.

UFO & Sew - Bring a project and come sew with us.  On the 4th Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, our classroom is available.  You can work on "secret projects" or just come and have fun with a roomful of fellow sewers.  Cost is just $5.  Room is limited so call a book a spot now.

Learned to sew in Junior High but haven't touched a machine since?  Know how to sew but have questions like how to put in a zipper?  Attend our Adult Sewing class for help.  We even have machines you can use.  Check the calendar for class dates and times.

Make sure to mark your calendar NOW for our Embroidery Club. We meet on the 3rd Saturday at 10.  We show different ideas, projects and techniques.  Fun prizes are given away at each meeting.  Bring a show & tell item.  Who else can really appreciate your hard work like us?  No sign up is necessary.  Just come and have fun!

BLOCK PARTY -- We have been having a BLAST with our new Block of the Month this year.  This is a photo of the block we made for February.  Participants - do you have yours done?  Next classes will be held March 1 - 10 am or 10:30 am; March 2 - 9:30 am, 10 am or 10:30 am.  Haven't joined yet?  It's not too late.  Come join us in the fun!

SERGER CLUB -- Do you own a serger but don’t know how to use it?  Would you like to do more than just finish seams?  If you answered YES to either question, then come join us at the first ever Serger Club, where you will learn all about your serger by making a variety of different projects that will teach you the many techniques a serger can do.  Join us March 9^th from 2 pm to 5:30 pm.

 At first, we will start with simple projects that can be completed the same day.  Each month you will work on a project in class, learning new techniques and ways to use your serger.  Taught by a Martha Pullen licensed teacher, projects will be taken from Martha Pullen curriculums and other sources so there will be a wide variety of projects for you to work on and learn from.

The first meeting will be “Getting to know your serger”.  You will learn about the features of your serger and stitches that it makes.  (ALL brands welcome.)  You will also make a sample reference workbook of stitches that you can refer back to for help.  You won’t want to miss this class!  It provides a sound foundation on which to build.  The next month, we will make 2 baby items that will be your go-to gifts any time you need a quick baby gift.  Later, we can tackle larger projects that will take 2 to 4 meetings to complete.

Kits will be available for many classes and some months you will use fabrics from your own stash.  Cost is $25 per month for the class.  The kit prices will vary depending on the project.  Kits for March will be $7. 

We are excited to open up a whole new world of sewing to you.  Sign up today and join us for the fun!


EMBROIDERY EXTRAVAGANZA -- Join us for a fun-filled day of embroidery sewing, even if you have never machine embroidered before.  Cost is just $99.99 which includes the projects, lunch, snacks and TONS of fun.  If you have an embroidery machine - sign up for the March 15 class (any brand).  If you aren't an owner, March 16 is the day for you.  Warning:  You just might become hooked!
