Thread + Technique: Beyond your Standard Foot
Thread + Techniques Class: Beyond your Standard Foot Your sewing machine can do much more than straight stitches—and the right presser foot can make all the difference. In this hands-on workshop, you will explore a selection of standard and specialty presser feet, learn what each one is designed to do, and practise using them on a variety of sewing samples. We will cover how to identify different feet, attach them correctly, adjust your machine settings, and choose the best foot for the fabric, stitch, or finish you are working with. This class is ideal for sewists who are comfortable using a sewing machine but want to better understand their machine accessories and expand their sewing skills.
