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.

Kit fee is included in class fee. Advance registration is required—call and register today!
Extra kits (if there are any left after class) will be available for purchase after class. You may purchase the kit only if you do not wish to come to class, but it does not include the embroidery design.

This in person, hands on, confident beginner friendly workshop is a great way 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'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 our resident experts on machine embroidery, and we will give you the instruction and hands on assistance 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.
Project materials are not included in class fee. Advance registration is required—call and register today!
Skill level: Confident Beginner (Please note: you MUST be familiar with your embroidery machine and be comfortable with it. If you have a BERNINA you purchased 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 is just not designed for that. It is for people who need help with their specific projects AFTER they already know how to use their machine.)
