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.

You and Your Q Series Machine—June 2026
Wednesday, June 17, 2025 from 12pm to 2pm Class Fee: $50 (FREE if you bought
your QMatic from The Presser Foot)
Instructor: Jenn Lowry
This class is for all Q-matic / Q Series longarm on the frame owners and is FREE if you purchased your Q Series machine or Q-matic from The Presser Foot.
Each class, we'll demonstrate a different function or tool using Q-matic and / or the Q Series longarm on the frame. You'll learn how and when to use all the amazing features that this quilting system has to offer you. This class is lecture / demo format with time for questions and group discussion.
June's class will cover all of the basics of quilting the borders and sashing using Q-matic. We'll discuss how to size designs for borders, use markers and manipulate the design to make sure the quilted design will actually follow the border (because everyone's borders are always perfectly straight, haha), how to "turn the corner" with the design, how to remove the quilt from the frame and turn it to quilt the remaining borders and much more. Come and see lots of examples and ask all your questions about quilting borders and sashing!
Advance registration is required.
No materials are required for this class, just bring your notebook and pen to take notes.
