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.
Embroidery Club October—Embroidered Pillow Wrap
Thursday, October 17, 2024 from 10am to 12pm Class Fee: $30

Join us for the last embroidery club session of 2024! October's Embroidery Club project is a seasonal pillow wrap.
Join us in person for class! Class fee includes materials for one pillow wrap, stabilizer, the embroidery design, and use of our threads in class. If you would like to match the thread colors EXACTLY as used in the store sample, please ask Debi to email you a color chart so that you may bring your own thread.
This beginner level, in person, hands on class is perfect for those who have already taken the owner's classes and are ready to go to the next step in learning how to use the embroidery features of their machines to create beautiful, personalized embroidered projects. Bring your machine, embroidery module, hoops and accessories to class and we'll help you complete this project!
Advance registration is required.
Extra kits available for purchase after class (if any kits are left). You may purchase the kit only if you don't want to come to class, but it does not include the embroidery design.
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.

Bloom and Grow Serger Quilt
Saturday April 20, June 15, August 10 and October 12, 2024 from 10am to 2pm Class Fee: $149
This class is FOUR sessions—you must come to each session. Instructor: Melody Munson
Make this gorgeous, modern quilt with your overlocker / chain and cover machine!
Your overlocker / chain and cover machine can be used for more than garment making or finishing edges, and if you're a quilter you will love the techniques you will learn in this class and how they can be applied to your quilt tops! In this four session class you will become very comfortable with your overlocker / chain and cover machine and piecing blocks with it, using the chain stitch to applique pieces after you've finished the edges with a rolled hem, topstitching details with decorative threads in the loopers and much more. Come into the store to see Melody's sample quilt top and all the gorgeous details.
If you have a serger but don't have a chain and cover / combo machine, you can still take this class and learn most of the techniques with your serger! There are some parts of the project you will need to modify or complete with your sewing machine instead, for example you will topstitch the applique pieces with your sewing machine instead.
Pattern fee and class materials are NOT included in the class fee. Advance registration is required—call and register today!
