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!
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 for the store location the class will be held at and click the class listing on the calendar.
Tool Tote
Thursday, June 12, 2025 from 12pm to 4pm and Class Fee: $75
Thursday, June 26, 2025 from 12pm to 4pm Instructor: Marla Bryant
This two session class is one of the most popular bag classes we've offered! The Tool Tote is the perfect bag for anyone who creates—artists, crafters, quilters and sewists all love it, and it's one that you're guaranteed to use all the time!
With pockets all the way around both the inside and outside of the bag, this tote also offers generous space in the middle on the inside for larger items. Sturdy metal wire stays that get covered and hidden when sewn into the bag will keep the bag's top open for easy access while you're working with all of your tools. A zippered top closes everything up for safe transport, and the handles allow for easy carrying of your tool tote.
Pattern and project materials are not included in the class fee. Please see supply list for project materials.
