Become a Sewing Machine Master for Free! Learn how to handle your sewing machine with this Craftsy Sewing Machine 911 FREE Online Class. Claudia Miller teaches the class & she discusses both vintage and modern machines, new and used. All of these machines can sew, and they can sew well when the user understands them correctly. Get to know the ins and outs of your sewing machine, including the basic components of each machine, spotting symptoms, knowing when to take your machine to a professional and much more! She also explains the basic parts and functions of every machine. What You Will Learn in Sewing Machine 911:

  • How to familiarize yourself with the parts of your machine and how they operate
  • How to perform basic skills, like threading the machine and winding the bobbin
  • How to pinpoint signs and symptoms of common problems
  • How to clean your machine to keep it working well and lengthen its lifespan

I love that Craftsy is offering this free class and it looks like a lot of other people have enjoyed it too, there’s tons of great reviews from people that have taken advantage of this free class. Here’s a review I thought was helpful:

“I have been sewing for years and thought I knew just about all there is to know about sewing machines, I own at least 15! I have Singer vintage machines as well as a Designer SE (Viking) and a Bernina 440. I walked away from this class things I didn’t know such as the P & Q for the front and drop in type bobbin of which I do have both. I also liked the way the class was presented and the close up shots. I also learned about the different threads and always wondered why some threads didn’t …”

I can always learn new skills, especially when it comes to sewing! I have never been very coordinated when it comes to sewing and I definitely have a LOT to learn about sewing machines themselves! 😉 My mother was always such a great wiz at sewing, she made whole entire outfits, dresses, she even made me dolls along with the doll clothes which were awesome! I still treasure those gifts that were handcrafted with love, they are truly special! ♥

Nice! Who wants a fresh produce coupon?! Head on over to Del Monte to Print & Save: $0.50 Del Monte Pineapple Coupon (extra gold sweet). Yum, sounds like a great, not to mention, cool treat right now. It’s 101 degrees here in Joplin right now, so all I can think about is how to cool down! I just opened up a can of chunk pineapple, I put them in individual storage cups and stuck them in the freezer for a cool treat later on, but I gotta tell you, fresh sounds even better!

Thanks Kansas City Mamas!
