2023 Classes at Friendly Stitches

Our dedicated and friendly team at Friendly Stitches is committed to helping you get the most from your sewing, embroidery, or quilting machine. To meet the creative needs of our customers, we offer specialized group project classes taught by our outstanding salespeople and visiting teachers. 

Using your own machine, materials, and products, the teacher will lead the class through the project's construction, giving everyone new sewing suggestions and hints to make the project easier. Each student will leave with a beautiful and unique completed project to take home by the end of class!
