In this very comprehensive beginners sewing machine course you will learn to use a sewing machine confidently. Be you 8 or 88, be you a total beginner or someone who is self taught but lacks the basics, thi course will teach you all you need!
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.
