Sewing Level 1: Machine Sewing for Absolute Beginners

Date: Sat, Sep 26, 2026

Time: 1pm to 3pm

Venue: Craft Habit, Raleigh

Price: $45

Category: Arts

This new class is for absolute beginners in the machine sewing world and those that do not own their own machines (yet). In this two-hour class, you'll learn to set up & thread the machine, change the needle, wind a bobbin, stitch with a seam allowance, backstitch, change machine settings, and troubleshoot. This class is ideal for those of you who are ready to begin your dive into the magical world of machine sewing but because it can be daunting, you just haven't jumped in yet! Once you take this class and get hands on experience, you'll be ready to move on to our Sewing Level 2 classes, where you will build new skills and confidence. Our goal with our adult sewing series is to help you work up to projects such as bag making, quilting, or garment sewing, that maybe have you a little intimidated right now. If you want to bring your own sewing machine, please register for Sewing Level 1: Get to Know Your Machine. **Check out our daytime dates offered 2 Tuesday mornings each month from 10:15 - 12:15. If you have Littles ages 3+, add on Youth Art Class for an additional $25. Youth Art Class is held in our Multi Craft room down a short hallway from the Sewing Studio during our daytime Sewing Level 1: Machine Sewing For Absolute Beginners classes. Bring a friend - we have a 4 person minimum for a class to take place! This class is open to students 12+.
