You’ve learned to identify your fabrics—now let’s talk about how to work with them. This follow-up class dives into the practical side of fabric handling, giving you the knowledge and tools to approach various textiles with confidence.

We’ll cover everything from the cutting table to the finished project: choosing the right needles and thread for your fabric, understanding how your sewing machine’s settings will affect the fabric (or even which machine you use!), and selecting the presser feet that will make your work easier and cleaner. We’ll also explore cutting equipment and how different fabrics respond to different cutting tools and techniques, as well as pressing settings that protect delicate fibers while getting the job done.

We’ll close by taking the mystery out of care labels—learning to decode what they actually mean and how to wash, dry, and care for specific fiber types so your finished projects look great for years to come.

She's shared her expertise through workshops on everything from beginner sewing to operating specialty machines, pattern drafting, textile selection, and intricate embroidery techniques.

She's competed across the country, always challenging herself to top her previous creations, and invariably getting distracted by a new galactic passion project.
