Would you like to know how to use your sewing machine, but feel like you need a class called “Sewing Machine 911“?
I can not count the number of times I have heard, “I wish I could sew. I even have a sewing machine, but I just don’t know what to do with it,” or “I bought my daughter a sewing machine for her birthday. I just wish I could teach her to use it!”
I can totally relate! Each sewing machine is different, and there is so much to know about each one!
Well, help is here! Craftsy is offering FREE online sewing classes!
Here is the “Sewing Machine 911” description from the Craftsy site:
Intimidated by your sewing machine? Claudia Miller covers all you need to know to get sewing. This free class includes an overview of various kinds of sewing machines, explains what the different parts do, and helps you troubleshoot your machine and keep it in good condition.
If this is just the kind of help you have been waiting for, simply sign up for the FREE Craftsy classes and choose “Online Classes” and then “Sewing Machine 911” from the menu.
The classes are free and never expire! You can access each class whenever you want, as many times as you want.
Go ahead and sign up! IT’S FREE! It’s a great way to learn to sew. Before you know it, you’ll be able to make these simple composition book covers and even teach your children to make them!
I go over the simple, step by step details for this easy sewing project for kids at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. It’s a great beginner project!
Do you sew? How did you learn?
Disclosure: I get 75 cents for each sign up. WOOHOO! If you would like to offer deals like this to your readers, sign up with Escalate Network.
