IMPORTANT CLASS INFORMATION
The class will last approximately 1 hour.
Before the tutorial you’ll receive a list of everything you’ll need for the class including the best weight of card and, if you’re in the UK, where to find it however the most important piece of equipment is your sewing machine! To enable freehand sewing the feed dog must be lowered, or a plate fitted over the feed dog with an aperture in the centre for the needle. You also need to attach an embroidery foot.
You’ll be creating your own unique designs however if you’d like any design ideas Sarah would be happy to help.
This online class is ideally suited to complete beginners or those who wish to progress further with the technique under Sarah’s guidance. You’ll be sewing with other creative people across the world in an informal and fun session.
You’ll receive a Zoom invite with a clickable link, meeting ID and password for signing in to the class approx. 2 days before the class date. Please check your inbox/junk mail folders. Use the link to enter the class on the day.
Please check that your sewing machine is able to sew freehand and is set up before the class starts – due to the class structure Sarah cannot offer much support if there is a problem with your machine.
Only registered participants may join the class. The zoom link is for your own personal use only and cannot be shared. Anyone joining the class without a confirmed registration will be removed from the session.
