This intro to patchwork class will introduce you to your* sewing machine! You will learn how to wind a bobbin, thread your sewing machine, change a needle, switch and practice stitches, and practice sewing in a straight line.

Create a modern crazy quilt or engineered and precise blocks to suit your aesthetic! Please note: You'll need your own machine*, plus your basic sewing kit, including thread, needles and pins for this class. A rotary cutter is advised!
