Learn the parts of the sewing machine and basic sewing functions. You do not have to own a sewing machine for this lesson. Bring one you already have, or use one of mine to get used to the functions. This one-hour course goes over the basic functions of a sewing machine and gets you acquainted with using it properly. ADD-ONS -TOTE BAG - Add on an easy one-hour Tote Bag project. Please choose the number of tote bags that corresponds to the amount of people in your group. -PROJECT CONSULTATION - If you chose this add-on, this is for those with an idea they want to make. You will need to bring your own materials. You may also use this time to get help finding a pattern or coming up with a game plan for how to get started on your own idea. This add-on can be for individuals or groups, but it better suited to individual projects. You may choose one or more hours, depending on how much coaching you'd like. If you are bringing your own machine, please remember to bring the power cord and foot pedal. If you have the manual it came with and the accessories, please bring all of that too. DISCLAIMER: If your machine hasn't been used in a long time or hasn't been serviced in a long time, problems may arise that will not allow us to meet all the goals of your session. If your machine isn't working properly, we will use one of my studio machines. I highly recommend servicing your machine before coming in. This is a set course, with a set agenda and project. All materials will be provided, except for the Project Consultation. All sewing lessons are taught at my studio in San Jose, CA.
