Build a Better Relationship with Your Sewing Machine with Bernie Tobisch

This is a one-day class held on:

Saturday, April 26, 2025: 10 am - 4 pm

If you need relationship counseling with your machine, then this class is for you. Learn what your sewing machine is trying to tell you and how to tell it what you want. Unravel the mystery of tension, learn light maintenance, and understand the importance of the right foot. Get closer to your machine and spend more time focused on your sewing and less time frustrated. Together we will address tension, feeding of fabric, needle and thread choices, and do some fancy footwork.

This class is based on Bernie's book, You and Your Sewing Machine, and a copy in class would make a great resource (available in our store).

Comments from past students:

“Wonderful teaching – so knowledgeable.”

“Bernie – Thank you, Thank you, Amazing Class, so happy to better understand my machine.  So informative.  Come again.  Thanks.”

“The content was excellent.   Presented in language I understood.  His rhythm was excellent.  He was patient and knowledgeable.  And he was funny.  That was nice.  Money well spent!!”

“Very engaging & well illustrated examples & explanations – great to have sample sewing for tension.  Showed us basics to take fear out of regular maintenance.  Amazing wealth of experience & extremely generous in sharing experience in on-site adjustments.”

• For our classes you will require your own sewing machine - which should be in good working order - and your own sewing supplies and tools.  In our classroom we have ironing boards and irons which are shared with other students.  A supply list will be available for your class which will outline the supplies, fabric requirements, and any pre-cutting needed.  Please ensure you pick this supply list up in plenty of time to prepare for your first class.
