Lesson FAQ

  • What can I work on in a lesson?
    • Almost anything!  Whether you are trying to learn the basics of sewing, need help getting started on a project, or just can’t figure out what your pattern instructions are saying, we can help.
  • How do I set up a lesson?
    • The best way to schedule a lesson is to visit our Lesson Registration Page.
    • You can also come into the shop and schedule a lesson in person, or give us a call at 571-777-8783.
    • If you’re unable to stop by or call, you can email us at shopgang@stitchsewshop.com.
  • How much time can I schedule for my lesson?
    • Lessons are typically two hours long.
    • Our Primer lesson (learning to use a sewing machine) and Serger Basics lesson (learning how to use the serger/overlocker) each only require one hour. Please give the shop a call if you are interested in one of these lessons.
  • Can I schedule a lesson for my child or teen?
    • We allow children as young as 9 years old to take lessons.  We ask that a parent is here with the child during the lesson time, for at least the first meeting.
    • Teens do not need a parent to be present for lessons.  (Note: our group classes are for adults 18+)
  • Can I bring my own machine?
    • Yes, you may bring your own machine to individual lessons, but you are not required to.  We have machines in our workspace (Bernina 330 and 350) that we use for instruction.
  • What do I need to bring with me to a lesson?
    • You’ll need to bring all of the materials required for your project.
    • Our workspace is stocked with the standard sewing tools you will need while you’re here: pins, scissors, rulers, rotary cutters, marking tools, etc.  While it’s not necessary, you may bring your own tools if you prefer.
