Ready to finally make friends with your sewing machine? Join Jules for a relaxed, hands-on introduction that takes all the mystery out of getting started. Together, you'll walk through threading your machine, filling and loading the bobbin, and choosing the stitches you'll use most often. Jules will also show you how to adjust your settings, switch out machine feet, and handle those little troubleshooting moments that every sewist encounters. You'll pick up simple maintenance tips, get helpful advice on threads and fabrics, and create your own stitched reference sampler to take home-a handy guide you'll reach for again and again. Jules will also send you off with a printed recap so nothing gets forgotten. This class is perfect for absolute beginners, especially if your machine is still sitting in its box. Come along, build your confidence, and let's get you stitching with a smile. All materials and full instructions will be provided in your workshop kit
