Classes are planned 6 months in advance, so that you can plan your diary.
I cater for small groups (no more than 6 people). Instruction is personalized and individual. You are encouraged to work at your own pace. Classes offer the opportunity to meet new people with a similar interest. We socialize and have fun while learning new sewing techniques.
All age groups, from teenagers with a desire to become creative with textile art, to the mature person who wishes to expand their skill repertoire. Males are also welcome.
Tuition is available in all facets of Sewing, Dressmaking and Pattern Styling, Machine Embroidery, Patchwork and Craft, Overlocking, and Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery Software.
Individual tuition is available by appointment. |

If you have answered YES!!! to any or all of these questions, then Project Sewing is for you. Come to class and bring your project. I will provide advice and constructive guidance so that you achieve a successful sewing outcome. |

7. EMBROIDERY SOFTWARE TUITION
I use the software Modules from 4D Creative/Professional Suite. This software package is sold through Pfaff and Husqvarna Viking sewing machine stores. Embroidery formats accessed by this software are .vp3, .vip, .pec, .pes, .jef, .exp, .dst, and .xxx.
Software Modules taught from the 4D suite are Organizer, Sketch, Design Aligner, Cross Stitcher, Picture Stitch, Stitch Editor, Vision, Fabric Decorator, Stitch Artist, Embroidery Extra, and Design Creator.
Lessons are planned around the Software Modules. Each module comprises a number of three-hour lessons which cover all aspects of icon usage. Each lesson builds on skills learned in prior classes. Lessons are paced for participants to practice their new-found computer skills. A comprehensive set of step - by - step notes accompany each module.
And for those participants who feel that they require a refresher, you may rejoin a class for a reduced fee. (as long as you have proof of previous participation and your notes.)
Book into the software classes which cover the embroidery software modules you own.
You will require a laptop in class. |
