In this course you will learn to use a sewing machine confidently. I have been teaching for 14+ years and know what people want to learn and how. I will teach you everything from what all the buttons on the machine do, to why needles are so important, to how to maintain your machine yourself, to sewing seams and hems etc. In addition you will get a copy of my sewing handbook In Stitches (RRP £17) sent to you which will give you additional resources as well as it being a beautiful book to have.
