Question from James B.
Will they teach how to set the timing on the machine? I own a 1951 "White sewing machine " I restored it to working condition but the timing is off and I don't know anything about sewing but am willing to learn.

Question from Daisy P.
Are we able to bring our own fabric? Saw the photo from below, but is that the only fabric we can choose from?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Daisy! For this class, the school provides materials for the project. All tote bags are made from denim. The student is welcome to provide their own fabric, but it needs to be cut and prepared before they arrive, and they recommend staying away from anything shiny, slippery, sheer, sequined, etc. The dimensions of the cut piece of fabric are 14"x36".

Question from Anusheh H.
Hi. I have an 8-year-old who has little experience with a sewing machine already. Would it be alright if she joined for the course?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! Generally, this class is geared toward adults, but they do teach children as well. They would recommend a private lesson instead. Private lessons are $60/hour, and they can teach the same skills and project as the Sewing Machine Basics Workshop, or they can gear the lesson to something more specific if she has another project in mind. You can check the private class here: https://coursehorse.com/nyc/classes/art/textile/sewing/sewing-machine/sewing-machine-basics-private-

I enjoyed the class very much and look forward to taking more classes for sewing when I can. Emily is extremely nice and also very patient and helpful. I think I would benefit from sewing boot camp

The instructor was knowledgeable and patient. She identified the parts of the sewing machine, demonstrated each step of the sewing task, and helped students individually, if needed. The sewing room was clean and materials were prepared in advance of the class. After completing the tote bag, the instructor answered questions and allowed participants to continue practicing, using fabric scraps.
