This will be a whistle stop tour of identifying what your machine feet are & what they can be used for, some feet may on require a quick demonstration where others will require testing or generating a sample. Please bring along any machine feet you have (ideally the ones listed below) & your machines instruction manual.

Feet covered may be the following:

Standard presser foot

satin foot- topstitching (seams, pockets, hems) & applique

zipper- zips & piping

buttonhole

blind hem

free motion

satin foot- topstitching (seams, pockets, hems) & applique

overcasting

Samples created in the sessions are ideal to build a skills file to create a perfect reference guide for when you need to use that technique again! (AKA your very own sewing bible)

There will also be a good exploration of machine stitches & settings as part of the class- a great way to get to know machine in more depth.

Great workshop

Very useful workshop, explaining each sewing foot and what it can do. Lovely atmosphere at the Sewing institute.

You will learn things you didn't think about

I have just had a new Janome machine and Have found things out about the machine that I hadn't even thought about. This is a class that EVERYONE should do.

Lots to learn!

This was a lovely afternoon spent getting to know your machines feet and all the things we never knew they could do! Lucy is a brilliant teacher and helped us all to realise how much more we could use our machines for.
