SISTERS SEWING CIRCLE

2 FREE ONLINE SEWING BASICS VIDEO COURSES

 

Several Sisters have expressed to me that they would like to learn to sew and would like to join our Sewing Circle Events but don't want to spend the money to take a Sewing Basics Class.  Here are 2 good FREE options for you.  After you take a sewing basics class you can start practicing your basic sewing stitches & such and you can also do this at our Sewing Circle Events.  Our Sewing Circle Events are always listed on this website.

TroubleShooting Videos for Bobbin & Thread Issues

We all will encounter bobbin issues, including Master sewers & clothing designers.  I too have had my fair share of bobbin issues.   

I wanted to share with you some videos for troubleshooting issues with your sewing machines.  If you happen to have the user manual for your sewing machine, refer to the Troubleshooting section (usually in the back).  Below I will list some YouTube videos for sewing machine issues.

How to TroubleShoot Bobbin Problems - the video shows a front loading bobbin case, but the same applies to top loading bobbin cases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tgrAlQdX78

How to Fix a Thread Jam - the video shows a front loading bobbin case, but the same applies to top loading bobbin cases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT8qvyb39O4
