STITCH
SETTINGS
Learn how different stitch settings work and when to use them for different sewing techniques.
HOUSTON ✱ MACHINE SKILLS WORKSHOP
You know how to sew. Now learn what your machine can actually do.
YOUR MACHINE DOES MORE THAN STRAIGHT STITCH.
Master Your Machine is for sewists who already understand the basics but want to feel more confident using the features built into their sewing machine.
We'll move beyond basic machine setup and explore the stitches, settings, presser feet and techniques that help you do more with your machine.
SOUND LIKE YOU?
You only use one or two stitch settings.
You have no idea what half the presser feet are for.
Zippers and buttonholes still feel intimidating.
When your machine acts weird, you don't know why.
