If you’ve ever given up on a quilting or sewing project because of your sewing machine, you are not alone.
And it’s not your fault.
You are capable of understanding your sewing machine and having a wonderful peaceful experience creating beautiful things.
Sewing machines are machines and just like other machines, like cars, it helps to both maintain them properly and know a little bit about how they work to have them work well for you.
You had to take a course to learn how to drive a car, right? And as you were growing up you learned things about cars like flat tires, leaking fluids, driving slowly during snowstorms.
But somehow we think that we should just ‘know’ everything about sewing machines and they should magically work no matter what.
It doesn’t take much to learn the basics of how to use a sewing machine and how to fix most problems. I’ve created two courses that will teach you what you need to know to avoid taking your machine for repair when you could have fixed it at home fast.
They are intentionally priced extremely affordably because I want you to sew, not stress.
