Master Your Sewing Machine
What’s wrong now?
Don’t let mysterious machine problems stop you from creating the quilts you love.
You know that sinking feeling when you’re happily sewing along and suddenly… your stitches look terrible? But you have absolutely no idea what went wrong or how to fix it?
Maybe you’re afraid to touch those tension dials because you’re not sure what those numbers even mean. Or you’re pretty sure it’s a tension problem, but the solution feels like a complete mystery.
Have you spent money on professional repair only to discover it was something simple you could have fixed yourself? Do you barely sew anymore because every session ends in frustration?
Stop the guessing game
You understand the basics of how a car works… at least enough to know whether you have a flat tire or an empty gas tank.
You can know how a sewing machine works too – so you’ll know whether it’s the tension, the thread, or the needle causing your problems.
It doesn’t have to be a mystery
You’re not looking for dumbed-down explanations. You need super clear, visual explanations that actually make sense. That’s exactly what I’ve created for you.
Advanced troubleshooting course that teaches you why machine problems happen and how to fix them yourself.
Here’s what one of my students shared:
I saw your great tension YouTube and bought your course. After watching the course, I took a deep breath and went to the machine again. I brushed out dust, rethreaded, got out the manual to reinsert the needle(I think it was turned wrong) … and now IT WORKS!

Thank you so much!
Here’s what you’ll discover:
How a stitch is made I use clear 3D moving visuals so it finally clicks. I demonstrate on both front-loading and top-loading bobbin machines, plus old and new style tension discs.
Threading secrets Understanding why correct threading is so critical changes everything. I’ll also explain how different thread types affect your machine and how to adjust for the best results.
Needle knowledge Learn exactly what stitch issues a bent or worn needle causes so you can pinpoint problems instead of guessing. Plus, you’ll get my handy PDF chart matching needles to projects – keep it right next to your machine.
Best practices that matter Some stitch issues actually come from sewing habits. When you understand why certain techniques matter, following best practices becomes second nature.
Taming tension What happens when you’ve done everything “right” but your stitches still look horrible? I’ll show you what bad tension looks like and exactly how to fix it. It makes so much more sense when you understand how your machine actually works.
Troubleshooting with confidence You’ll get my reference chart with step-by-step troubleshooting. You’ll know you’ve tried everything you can before considering professional repair.

Thank you for your email, courses, simple explanation and how you give people confidence. Which I majorly lack :/ I bought your course not because I had a particular problem but you know how it felt to use the machine? Like I was standing behind a horse’s ass and it was kicking me with its hind legs every.single.time. Ever since I watched your course and understood better I think the machine got some sugar (or carrot) because it is behaving.

Understanding changes everything
When you know how your machine works, troubleshooting becomes problem-solving instead of panic. Your machine transforms from mysterious contraption into trusted creative partner.
Ready to finally understand your machine?
Happy sewing! 😉
