Sewing, Quilting and Embroidery Classes for Everyone

Our staff teaches sewing, quilting and embroidery classes featuring a wide variety of projects for different skill levels. We've even got sewing classes for kids! Most of our classes are open to owners of any brand of sewing or embroidery machine (unless specifically stated in the class description)—all you have to know are the basic functions of your machine and how it works. Please read our Class Policies before you enroll for your class.

Below is a preview of what's coming up at The Presser Foot. Please click the link in the class listing to view the entire class description on the calendar page and to see the link to the supply list. Class fee does not include supplies unless specifically stated. Please review and download the supply list before you register for the class.

Please enroll for your class by calling the store at least two days  prior to class day so that our instructors can have enough kits, handouts or other class materials for you. There may be some preparation work required before class day—if this is the case it will be noted on the class supply list, so please be sure you enroll in class enough in advance that you can complete the prep work!

Embroidery Workshop

Saturday, October 19, 2024           from 10am to 4pm                                       Class Fee: $69
                                                                                                                                        Instructor: Debi Urban                                                                         

This in-person, hands-on, confident beginner friendly workshop is a great way for you to move forward with your machine embroidery projects!

Whether you only know the basics of machine embroidery or you've been doing it for years, if you have taken your guide classes / Quick Start Embroidery 1 and 2 and are ready to move onto other projects but you're not quite sure of the next step, this is the embroidery workshop for you!

Debi, Melody and other staff will be available all day to give you the support and guidance you need to move forward with your embroidery project(s). Bring any machine embroidery project(s), your supplies and your machine and let's get them done!

Optional potluck lunch. There are also many options nearby for restaurants, and we have a classroom refrigerator and microwave you may use. 
 
Project materials are not included in class fee. Advance registration is required—call and register today!

Please note: 
This class is for Confident Beginners to Advanced skill level. You MUST be familiar with the basics of machine embroidery and using your machine. If you have a BERNINA you purchased from us, you MUST have completed Quick Start Embroidery 1 and 2 in order to register for this workshop--it's not that we don't want to teach you to use your machine, it's that this is not the class for that. We want to give you all the attention you need in order to learn the basics first which is what Quick Start Embroidery 1 and 2 are designed for.
