Class registration is REQUIRED as we cannot guarantee space in the class for you if you do not sign up.

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 the basics of your embroidery machine and get started. You'll learn topics such as stabilizers, hooping, applique-in-the-hoop, lettering, and more!

Embroidery Usage is a two-part class that is free with machine purchases from Pins and Needles. We welcome machines not bought from us, 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. Items include one spool of Madeira Polyneon thread, one pre-wound bobbin, two 12” x 15” pieces of tear-away stabilizer, a small piece of water-soluble stabilizer, one fat quarter of solid color fabric, and a small hand towel.

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. For more detailed instruction and techniques, consider signing up for some additional classes to further your knowledge & skills. Private lessons are available for $30/hour, and you may tailor the topics to your own needs.
