Learn to Sew

Are you looking to learn how to sew? Or simply want to brush up on some techniques? Then my Beginners Sewing Course will hopefully point you in the right direction.

I have launched 5 FREE videos that take you from threading a sewing machine to steps to improve your accuracy matching seams and sewing curves.

Over the course of 5 days I cover the following:
Day 1: Back to basics. Learn how to thread a sewing machine and wind a bobbin (I am working with an Husqvarna Viking, Emerald). I also cover what needle size and thread to use when sewing.

Day 2: Fabric preparation. I discuss the fabric you should be working with as a beginner, how to lay patterns onto the fabric and cutting tips. I also look into how to mark fabric for professional results.

Day 3: Back at the sewing machine this video covers sewing basics. Looking at sewing a standard stitch, using a correct seam allowance, increasing the stitch length and how to deal with tension problems.

Day 4: Moving on. Next I look at the zigzag stitch on the sewing machine and uses of the stitch; lingerie, sewing knits, finishing seams without an overlocker and appliqué.

Day 5: The final day goes over sewing accuracy issues, how to sew curves and corners, matching seams as well as pressing tips and techniques.
