(4 customer reviews)

$120

Feeling a tad overwhelmed by your sewing machine? Or perhaps, after retrieving your machine from storage, you’ve realized that your skills aren’t as sharp as you remembered? Fear not, you’re certainly not alone in this!

We’ve tailored this private (one on one) class specifically for you, bridging the gap between apprehension and machine confidence!

If you have a Serger/Overlock you’d like to learn on, please check out Serger/Overlock 101 or Serger/Overlock 102 lessons.

This private sewing machine workshop is a perfect follow-up to Sewing 101 when you’re ready to dive deeper into the machine settings and functions below:

  • Introduction to Your Sewing Machine: Get to know our machine or become more familiar with your own.
  • Exploring Stitches and Settings: Learn the ins and outs of various stitches and their appropriate settings.
  • Proper Fabric Removal: We’ll guide you on how to correctly remove fabric from the machine, an often overlooked but crucial skill.
  • Troubleshooting Basics: Encounter a problem? We’ll cover how to troubleshoot common sewing machine issues.
  • Utilizing Different Feet: Understand when and why to use different feet, or perhaps when it’s better not to.
  • Understanding Tension: Dive into the relationship between the upper and lower thread and how tension affects your sewing.
  • Bobbin Winding: Master the art of winding a bobbin efficiently and correctly.

Please Note: This private, 90 Minute Machine 101 class is focused on learning and practicing techniques. As such, you will leave with sewing samples rather than finished projects.

  • All necessary tools and equipment.
  • Expert guidance to lead you every step of the way!

What You Need to Know:

  • You’ve taken Sewing 101, or you’ve sewn at least a few simple projects.

What You Need to Bring:

  • Your sewing machine (optional, but highly recommended for personalized learning).
  • All machine accessories, including power cords.
  • A water bottle to stay hydrated.
  • Reading glasses if you need them for close work.

In the event of a no-show, you will need to rebook and pay for a new class at a time that better suits your schedule. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but we encourage all our students to communicate any changes as early as possible to allow others the opportunity to fill the space. This not only supports our community-centric approach but also enhances the learning environment for everyone involved.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining the integrity of our class schedules and the quality of your learning experience.

We understand that delays can happen, but to ensure the quality and continuity of our classes, all students must strive to arrive on time. If you arrive late, you’re welcome to join the class already in progress. However, please note that the class will end as scheduled to respect the time of students scheduled after you and the instructor.  Ask your instructor about booking additional studio time to complete your class.

    Nancy tested this new-to-me old machine, then showed me how to clean and lubricate moving parts — which I didn't dare attempt on my own. She then showed me how to make a bobbin and thread the needle. It's now ready for my apron project. : ) I'm grateful for her encouragement and willingness to help me out in a pinch.

    Abra was such a welcoming teacher. I'm in my twenties and have always wanted to learn how to sew but have never touched a machine. I signed up for Sewing Machine 101 instead of the Sewing 101 class because I have experience hand sewing and I wanted to jump into more individual instruction with the machines. I was a little anxious going in with 0 experience on a machine, but Abra made me feel right at home. We went through the basics of the machine, its settings, how to use it, and the differences between machines. She answered all of my (many) questions and encouraged me to ask more. I could not have asked for a better first sewing experience! I will certainly be back to Newton Sewing Studio soon, hopefully to make my first tote bag! I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to get into sewing on a machine, no matter your experience level.
