~Stitch Beautifully~ is our Beginner Sewing Machine Instruction 101 Course, which covers all the instruction comparable to the High School Home Economics Classes of the past.
I want to see you accomplish your sewing goals with less frustration so you can make beautiful, professional stitching.
This class is for...
...people who want to sew, but have never started and find that the advice on the internet is overwhelming/conflicting. Maybe you don't have access to local classes, maybe you're staying home for various reasons and you don't know where to start.
...people who are advanced beginners and have either had a machine for years and learned to sew a while back, but just need a refresher to get "back in the wagon," or aren't sure how to oil their machine and would like some new tips & tricks.
...people who know how to sew and want to teach a relative, but aren't sure what should be included. This course can be given as a gift, quite easily, by using that person's email address at checkout, so they can get the accompanying email bonuses to this course.
...anyone wanting to learn some sewing fundamentals.
When you register for this course, you will gain access to instructional lessons containing videos, text, and slide presentations, each filled with information I've learned over 10 years of professional sewing.

How this works...
Step 1:
Scroll to the checkout area to pay. (There's a couple of payment options to cater to different budgets.)
Step 2:
Complete your purchase.
Step 3:
Work through the lessons! You can binge watch it all to get started, but we also recommend slowing it down and doing these tasks over and over to really engage your memory for sitting with this information and absorbing it best. You can consume the class in a day, however, practicing the vocabulary, the stitching, and the project several times over a month will help you really absorb the information.
Step 4:
Plan out what your next step might be!! Where do you see yourself in 2 months?
Think of where your skills can take you a month from now, or 2 months from now. The more practice you put in to your craft, the more skill you have to take on those dream projects. Maybe you want sew small crafts, quilts, bras, clothing... you name it. The sky is the limit... and it all starts here, by really learning your machine, slowing down the pace and taking the time to get the foundational skills right.
