Somerset Sewing Center Spring Class Schedule:

Spring Class Schedule: Our spring class schedule is rather small this year due to lack of teachers. Pam and I decided to offer you several that have been popular and ask you to let us know if there are any others you would like for us to do.

Viking Owner classes will be scheduled when needed. Please take time to go over the classes at the end of this newsletter and call the Somerset store ASAP to let us know which ones you are interested. We then schedule them as they fill.

All classes will be held in the sewing room at the Somerset store or, if enough interest, and it is a class that doesn‘t require a lot of space, possibly at the Johnstown store. This will be at the instructor’s discretion. I will be scheduling handbook classes for the Designer I and the Designer SE soon after we get home. These are taught at the store where they were purchased as I get enough people for a class. Classes are not scheduled at this time. Call the Somerset store if you are interested in a class and we will call you with details when we get enough to fill the class. We ask that you buy any needed materials for the class from our store. If you tell the sales person that you are buying it for a class, you will be given a 20% discount. We ask that you bring your machine to class if at all possible as we feel that it is important for you to learn your own machine. Please call the Somerset store with any questions.

Machine Embroidery Arts: It seems that there is always an interest for additional classes for the embroidery machines whether it be how to use the Mega or Endless hoop or just a basic class on positioning, hooping, and stabilizers. Please call and tell us what you need and we will try to customize a class to suit your wishes.
