Sewing Machine Essentials Ebook


I can’t imagine my life without sewing. The ability to make, repair, design and express myself through textiles has been such a huge part of who I am for so long. From the very first skirt I made decades ago that showed me I could make my own clothing, I knew I would be sewing for the rest of my life. When I started the workroom, one of my goals was to create a safe space for learning and connection. The very first thing folks asked for in 2007 was a class to learn about their machines. Sewing Machine Essentials quickly become our most popular class and we’ve taught thousands of students the foundations in that three hour workshop. My goal was to walk you through understanding the machine and all it’s parts and then ensuring you learned how to correctly thread and set up your sewing machine. Whether you were a total newbie or looking for a refresher, it has been one of my biggest joys to see the mystery of the sewing machine unlocked for each student and see them feel empowered by the end of class.
I’ve been wanting to create a digital version of Sewing Machine Essentials for years and I’m so happy to share the launch of this ebook with all of you. This is just the start of many more digital resources we are planning to create at the workroom, but I wanted to make sure we started at the beginning.
This Sewing Machine Essentials ebook is the culmination of everything we’ve taught in that class for almost two decades. Inside, you’ll find:
+ Step-by-step guides to understand your sewing machine’s anatomy
+ Clear threading instructions with diagrams so you never feel lost
+ Tension troubleshooting tips to finally demystify this essential setting
+ TRY IT prompts to build hands-on confidence as you go
+ Pro tips from years of teaching to make sewing feel approachable and joyful
This ebook is designed to teach you how to confidently set up & trouble shoot your sewing machine. It doesn’t cover sewing projects yet, that will come in future resources.
If you’ve taken Sewing Machine Essentials in the past and want an easy way to refresh your memory, if it helped to change your life or if you know someone who would like to start sewing, I hope you’ll pick up a copy of this resource we packed so much information into.

Learning to sew changed my life. I know it could change yours too.
