BMC: Big Machine Operation Class

Ryan's Case for Smiles Volunteer Sew Day

This is a volunteer sewing day for anyone interested in helping out a worthy cause!

Ryan’s Case for Smiles is one the few volunteer organizations solely dedicated to helping kids feel better to heal better. While other great organizations focus on research and finding a cure, we work to improve the quality of life of children and their families as they undergo treatment.

We will get together and create as many pillowcases as we can for these wonderful kids! You do not have to know how to sew to help. We need help measuring, cutting, pressing, and pinning also! We will have sewing machines available for use, no need to bring one in.

Bring any fabrics you have in your stash that you are willing to donate. We will donate fabric and supplies as well. Let's work together as a community to help some kids out. 

Quilts of Valor 2024

This group makes quilts for returning Vets. They meet here once a month to coordinate presentation times, learn new patterns, and sometimes sew. Every member is part of the process; some sew, some bind, some cut, and some cheer. Everyone works to their strengths to support a worthy cause. Come in and see how you can get involved.

Quilts of Valor Foundation began in 2003 with a dream, literally a dream. Founder Catherine Roberts’ son Nat was deployed in Iraq.

According to Catherine: The dream was as vivid as real life. I saw a young man sitting on the side of his bed in the middle of the night, hunched over. The permeating feeling was one of utter despair. I could see his war demons clustered around, dragging him down into an emotional gutter. Then, as if viewing a movie, I saw him in the next scene wrapped in a quilt. His whole demeanor changed from one of despair to one of hope and well-being. The quilt had made this dramatic change. The message of my dream was: Quilts = Healing.

Advanced Software Club 2024

BERNINA Embroidery Software is the open door to creating everything you can dream of.

BERNINA Software 9 allows you to digitize your handwriting, transfer designs to your machine over WiFi with the click of a button, move and rotate designs, convert closed shapes to applique designs in one click and so much more! Join Software Club to get the most out of your investment. 

EMB: Embroidery Machine Operation

We will take you through stabilizers, thread, design selection and placement, and the creative ways to make changes to make your project unique. This will be the beginning of a great creative journey. Carol is an awesome teacher who loves to teach all the way to make embroidery pop. Upon completing this class with your machine, join Embroidery Club with Carol and take the creative journey to a whole new level. 

If you purchased your machine from us, this class is free. If you did not purchase your machine from us, you can pay to get the same level of training and guidance.

Serger Club 2024

Serger Club will teach you different ways to use your serger or overlocker. You will create a variety of projects with your serger and learn new techniques to help you follow patterns and create all kinds of fun things. Unleash your creativity!

Laura Mae is patient and knowledgeable about all the top brands of machines and can help you work your way through threading, feet, and the accessories that come with your machine.

Free Motion Basics

Anita will show you the basic ideas of free-motion quilting in this class. You'll learn meandering and how to move the fabric under the needle.
