BEGINNING SEWING CLASSES

Begining sewing classes at Pintucks offer small one-on-one help as you learn to sew. Because most classes provide some form of materials or supplies, enrollment CLOSES at 10am on the day BEFORE the sewing workshop. Don't put off enrolling, as you may find the class filled, or enrollment closed for that session. You may reserve the studio sewing machine, available on a first come basis, when you register. Personal machines must be in working order. If you do not have a copy of the owner's manual, we suggest that you locate one online prior to using your machine in class.
