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. 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!
We add new classes frequently. Don't see what you want? Get a couple of your friends together and ask us about creating a class just for you! To see complete details about each class and to download the supply list for that class, visit the calendar page and click the class listing on the calendar.

Join us for the final Embroidery Workshop of 2026! This is the perfect day to work on your holiday embroidery projects!
This in-person, hands-on, confident beginner friendly workshop is a great way to move forward with your embroidery projects! Whether you only know the basics of machine embroidery or you've been doing it for years, if you've taken Quick Start Embroidery 1 and 2 but still don't know where to start on that embroidery project this is the workshop for you! Come and spend the day with us and we will give you the hands on help you need to move forward with your embroidery project(s). Bring any embroidery project, your supplies and your machine and we will help you with whatever you need so that you can get it done! Optional potluck lunch. There are also many options nearby for restaurants, and we have a classroom refrigerator and microwave you may use.
Please note: this workshop is for confident beginner level embroiderers who are familiar with their embroidery machine and comfortable with it. If you have a BERNINA you bought from us, you must have taken Quick Start Embroidery 1 and 2 to be able to register for this workshop. It's not that we don't want to teach you how to use your machine--this workshop just is not designed to do that. It is for people who need help with their specific projects AFTER they already know how to use their machine.
Project materials are not included in class fee. Advance registration is required—call and register today!

Color and Design
Thursday, November 5, 2026 from 12pm to 4pm Class Fee: $400
Instructor: Sarah Ann Wells
Ever wonder why some colors just don't work together and others make your projects pop?
This is the course for you to discover the knowledge and confidence to start boldly working with color! Using the book A Fiber Artist's Guide to Color & Design by Heather Thomas (available at The Presser Foot), Sarah Ann will teach you classic color theory and the principles of design. You'll learn and apply color terminology, color scale, color value, color dominance, color temperature, complex colors, design elements, line, shape, blending and form. You will also learn texture, size and scale, contrast and balance. Workshop lessons such as monochromatic quilts, exploring the use of color, scale and contrast provide opportunities to practice.
This course will provide you with in-depth knowledge and a new understanding of color that will take your projects to a whole new level.
This year long class begins Tuesday, July 7, 2026 and then will be on the first Thursday of each month from August 2026 through June 2027. Students must have their own copy of the book A Fiber Artist's Guide to Color & Design by Heather Thomas. Remember, you will receive a 10%
class supply discount when you register for class.
