Class Schedule Winter-Spring 2016

Note to ST Customers from Barb Rezac I am not scheduling any regular classes in January. If you want machine help (sewing, serger or embroidery), a refresher course or have not received lessons that were part of your purchase, let me know and I will work with you to schedule sessions and teach what you need or want to learn. Contact me at [email protected] or call 785-535-2961. Stitcher’s Garden — I have had requests to repeat this 13-month class. In this class you learn how to use a number of optional feet for your sewing machine, uses for decorative stitches, appliqué techniques and other specialty techniques done on any sewing machine. You will choose your own fabrics for this project. If you are interested, contact me as noted above. Please indicate if a certain Wednesday of the month will work and would daytime or evening be best. If Wednesday is not convenient, then what day would be suitable? A sample of the project is at the store.
