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.

July's project is a cutwork embroidered napkin. Get a head start on your holiday embroidery projects with this gorgeous cutwork tree that's perfect for a napkin corner! Stunning, elegant and achievable to create.
Class fee includes project materials for two napkins, the embroidery design and use of our embroidery threads in class. If you would like to duplicate the thread colors exactly as they are on the store sample, please ask us to email you a copy of the thread chart so that you may bring your own thread to class.
This beginner level, in person, hands on class is perfect for those who have taken the owner's / guide classes (Quick Start Embroidery 1 and Quick Start Embroidery 2) and are ready to go onto 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!
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.
All Day Date with BOB (Block on Board)—BOB vs. QUBE
Saturday, August 16, 2025 from 10am to 4pm and Class Fee: $65
Instructor: Teresa Stamp
BOB (Block on Board dies) and QUBE dies actually work TOGETHER beautifully to make HUNDREDS of quilt blocks in no time at all!
Using AccuQuilt's fabric cutting system, you'll learn how to determine which dies to use to create your quilt blocks mixing and matching different dies from QUBE and BOB (Block on Board). You'll sew both a Mix and Match block and a BOB block, and Teresa will also show you how she converts many rotary cutting / hand cutting patterns into ones that can be made with the AccuQuilt die cutting system.
This is a date you don't want to miss!
Don't have an AccuQuilt die cutting machine or dies? No problem! You may use our AccuQuilt die cutting machine and dies in class. We do ask that if you plan to make multiples of this project, please bring and use your own die cutting mat so that we can preserve our classroom mats as much as possible.
Pattern and project materials are not included in the class fee. Please see supply list for project materials.

Tuesday, August 26, 2025 Instructor: Kathy Shelley
Use a quilt or pre quilted fabric to make a beautiful, one-of-a-kind coat!
During this two session class, you'll get a jumpstart on the Elemental Coat by making a muslin to fit your coat to the correct size (possibly adding darts as in the store sample). Then we will lay out the pattern on the fabric and construct the coat. Kathy will demonstrate using the Stripology Ruler for cutting bias binding, and she will show you how she attaches it using the BERNINA #71 foot.
