• MACHINE SERVCING

JUKI, FEATHERWEIGHT, AND PFAFF CLEANING AND SERVICING: Sign up to have your machine serviced by Chris Botts from Paradise. He will be at Sew What on Saturday, February 20th. It takes him an hour to do each machine, so machines will be looked at by appointment only. Reservations, with payment, must be made in advance. If your machine needs repair, Chris will have to take it back to his shop in Paradise. You can leave it with him on this date, and you and he can figure out the best way to get the machine back when it’s fixed.

If you get your machine serviced, you will receive 20% off any purchases that day at Sew What, excluding machines and sale items.

• QUILTING CLASSES

BAJA BLUES: Known traditionally as Amish Shoofly, Linda has developed an easier way for construction than what ‘our grandmothers’ would have used.  This is a fat quarter friendly quilt, which means we get to use those cute bundles up that we’ve been buying.  As to fabrics, this can be a true scrap quilt, you might even use a line of fabrics or maybe like I did and used all Batiks.  Whatever you choose, the quilt will look smashing!  Stop by for a look ….. and oh yes, don’t be afraid of those flying geese in the border …. It’s easier than you might think

MAGIC LOOP SOCKS: Learn to knit socks the Magic Loop way. This method teaches you to make one sock at a time with one 40” circular needle. The good news is that this is really, really easy to do. This is a two part class (1 ½ hours each session). In the first lesson you will learn how to cast on, and setup your work. This sock is worked from the cuff down, so we will proceed with the cuff down to the beginning of the heel. The second class will teach you how to work the heel flap, turn the heel, and work the foot. You will also learn all about grafting (the Kitchener stitch) to finish the sock.  You may choose a day or evening class.
