Sewing Classes and Classroom
 Sew in Heaven offers sewing classes for:
- Quilting
- Home Decor´
- Clothing
- And More
See Class Schedule Below.
We
have engaged a terrific list of teachers to teach a wide variety
of topics. We generally limit our classes to a
maximum of six students to ensure personalized services. Some
sewing classes will be taught by visiting teachers who will bring
all-new techniques and/or skills to our students.
Further, we provide new Bernina sewing machines for use before,
during and after our sewing classes for enrolled students. This
keeps our students from having to “lug” their own
sewing machines from and back to their homes. It also assures
that the sewing classes will not be disrupted because a student
forgot a critical component of their machine or that it does
not function properly.
Our classroom includes a really cool device that our students
and customers are welcome to use, at no charge,
to photograph their projects. It is a studio-like setting,
with great lighting and plenty of space to hang large quilts.
We also have invested in technology which will allow us to offer
Webinars. We can project teachers’ classes, brought
to our classroom via the internet, onto a big screen. Speaker
phones are used for the audio portion of the presentations, allowing
an interactive learning environment for our students. Ever
attend a sewing class being taught by someone thousands of miles
away? You
can now.
