Now that you've bought your brand-new machine from Pins and Needles, it's time to learn how to use it! Join us for basic machine usage to learn your machine's basics and get started. You'll learn topics such as straight and zig-zag stitching, applique, twin needles, buttonholes, and more!

Basic Machine Usage is a two-part class that is free with machine purchases from Pins and Needles. Machines not bought from us are welcome, but an additional class cost will apply.

All students must purchase the $10 kit on the day of class; discounts do not apply. This kit must be brought to both classes. It includes one spool of Gutermann thread, 6" x 6" elastic, five pieces of 8" x 8" woven cotton squares, woven cotton applique shape approximately 4" x 4", 8" x 8" tear-away stabilizer or "Stitch-in-the-Ditch" paper, 6" x 6" wool, 8" x 8" jersey knit, 6" of ribbing, and a 10" x 10" quilt sandwich.

Dates are subject to change. Class registration is required. If you cannot attend a class, please notify the store beforehand. Taking classes in order is recommended. Please note that classes will have a mix of brands and models of machines. The usage classes are general and designed to get you started with your machine and help you become comfortable with it.
