Best Machine Embroidery Sydney Near Me

Julie D Lee: I highly recommend the beginners sewing course. The beginners course takes participants through the basics of learning to thread their machine, choose stitches and adjust stitch length / width. The majority of participants are absolute beginners.I first learnt to sew in high school. After six months of sewing, I put the sewing machine away and did not touch it for several decades! I went to Bobbin and Ink because I want to make clothes that fit me. My waist is wide and hips are narrow. Store bought (off the rack) clothes do not fit me well.In the past twelve months, I completed four beginner sewing courses (6 weeks each), the “waste wear” workshop, the “stretch swimwear / activewear” workshop and the “caps and hats” workshop.During these courses, I made two blouses, button front dress, invisible zippered dress, lined jacket, night dress (stretch fabric), hoodie, slippers, leggings and a tank top with built in crop top. I average making two garments in each course. I arrived knowing a bit more than the absolute beginner but not enough to follow a commercial pattern. I did not want to blunder through piles of expensive fabrics. With Susan’s supervision and advice, I learnt how to make mitred corners, sew princess seams, sew an invisible zipper, insert a side pocket, put lining in a jacket and remedy mistakes. Susan also advised me on how to modify sleeves that were too long on a store bought puffer jacket.Susan is an excellent teacher. Knowledgeable, patient, friendly. Susan works hard to make sure each student knows what to do next. She does not hover over us like a bad smell. If we look like we need assistance, she will ask how we are going. Otherwise, we wait until she has finished helping someone to get her attention. This is how sewing classes worked when I was in high school: everyone has their own project. They work at their own pace. The teacher is always there if we need help with something. They are NOT there to do the cutting, tracing and stitching for us.At the end of some sessions, I was invited to stay back to finish cutting my fabric. Whenever I stayed back, the children’s sewing class would begin. I observed Susan working from child to child non stop for two hours. Susan is equally comfortable working with children and adults. The works produced in the children’s class are exceptional. They make toys, hoodies, dresses, skirts.The facilities are clean, spacious and well lit. If I forgot to bring something, I can find it in their shop. Their sewing products are high quality and reasonably priced. The other staff are always courteous and eager to help. They go above and beyond to achieve customer satisfaction.I still have unused fabric in my stash. I look forward to using some of it in the “coats and jackets” and the “denim / workwear” workshops later this year.
