Brother Sewing Machine, Embroidery or Serger!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Husqvarna Viking, Janome or Brother Sewing Machine, Embroidery or Serger! At Sew N Vac we firmly believe that the more you know about your new sewing machine or serger the more use you will get from it and the happier you will be. Therefore, we offer owners classes for all that purchased a new machine from us. Check the class schedule for the class designed with your machine in mind. By the way, if you did not buy your machine from us, we do machine adoption for a small fee. A few things to consider:
Inclement weather policy. When our area is affected by inclement weather, we will follow the Sevier County Schools schedule. If you believe driving to a class is unsafe, please do not try. We will reschedule the class, as you probably are not alone. To register, stop by our store or call 865-365-1408. In order for us to offer a class, we must have a minimum of 3 signed up.
Clubs American Sewing Guild The American Sewing Guild has a chapter in west Knoxville, and two Neighborhood Groups, one in Maryville and the other right here at Sevierville's Sew and Vac. Meetings will be held third Thursday of each month, from 1:00-3:00 pm. Programs will change from month to month, depending on member suggestions. If you have a sewing technique you want to learn or one that you can teach the rest of us, please let me know. We look forward to meeting new sewers and crafters.
