Dear Beginners:
A successful start begins with your own comprehension of sewing machine usage. Please come knowing how to use your own or one of our classroom machines. “Machine Basics for Novices” is a great place to receive this start-up information on our “loaner” classroom machines.  In addition, all machines purchased at our store include thorough instruction and guide classes.  If you are in the market to purchase a sewing machine, please see one of our capable sewing machine consultants for the right sewing machine for you.
Thank you, Eddie
