FAQs
Who is this course for?
You should already have basic sewing skills or take our Sewing 1 course, and our Patternmaking 1 course.
What supplies do I have to buy?
You will need a machine at home for homework. We recommend the Singer Heavy Duty 4411.
I haven’t taken class with you, but am I an experienced sewer. Can I start with an advanced class?
If you are familiar with threading and winding a bobbin on an industrial machine, understand grain line and seam allowance, and can sew plain seams, you are eligible for this course. If it has been a while since you've sewn on an industrial machine, we recommend becoming a Member. You can work on your personal projects and work in the studio throughout the week to refamiliarize yourself with the machine.
Will there be homework?
Yes, you will have assignments to work on at home throughout the courses. You can expect to have 1-2 hours of homework each week.
Do I have access to the studio outside of class time?
No, only Studio Members and Designer Development Program students have open studio access. Click to become a Member

I started taking classes, but now want to join the program. Is that possible?
