About the Class
Discover the joy of drawing with your sewing machine! In this creative and relaxed workshop, you’ll learn the art of free motion embroidery — a wonderfully expressive technique that lets you stitch in any direction to “draw” with thread. We’ll combine this with raw-edge appliqué, using fabric scraps to build beautiful, layered designs. Whether you're brand new to free motion or want to build your confidence, this hands-on class is the perfect way to explore textile art and take your sewing skills in a new direction. ✂️ What You’ll Learn: How to set up your machine for free motion embroidery Tips for controlling stitch length, tension and movement Drawing with thread: sketching all sorts of motifs and different shapes How to use appliqué with bonded fabric and freestyle stitching Layering textures and colours to create a finished piece 🧵 What You’ll Make: You’ll create your own embroidery sampler, using both free motion stitching and appliqué techniques. Most students go home with a finished or nearly-finished artwork, ready to frame or use as part of a cushion, wall hanging or tote. 🪡 What’s Included: All materials: background fabric, bonding materials, fabric scraps, threads Use of sewing machines and free motion feet (or bring your own)
Dates & Times
Cancellation Policy
By booking a course or workshop with Ready Steady Sew, you are agreeing to the terms outlined in this cancellation policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us prior to booking. Please head to the Cancellation Policy header in the menu tab to view our full policy. Cancellation Due to Non-Attendance We understand that sometimes circumstances change, but we ask for your cooperation with our cancellation policy: Cancellations must be made at least 14 working days before the course start date to receive a full refund. 14 days or less notice: 50% of the course fee will be refunded. 7 days or less before the course start date: 100% of the course fee will be charged Non-attendance without prior notice will result in no refund. To cancel your place, please email us at readysteadysew@hotmail.com as soon as possible. All cancellations must be received in writing via email. Refunds will be processed the same day that you request it. However, please note that the processing time is dependent on Wix Payments (our payment provider) and your bank. We have no control over how long it takes for the funds to appear in your account, but it can take up to 20 business days in total, depending on your bank's processing times. No Refunds for Partially Attended Courses There will be no refunds for partially attended courses. If you decide that the course is not for you after attending part of it, you will not be eligible for a refund. We encourage you to make sure the course is right for you before booking. Transfers to Future Classes If you need to transfer to a future class, you must notify us at least 14 working days before the class start date. Unfortunately, we cannot accept transfer requests within 14 days of the class start date. We are unable to transfer bookings after this time frame as it's not long enough for us to refill your spot, and it takes a spot away from a future student. As a small business, we rely on full classes to remain sustainable, and offering transfers to everyone who requests them would result in under-booked classes. We encourage you to ensure you're available for the dates of the course you book. Once a spot is reserved, it is committed to you, and we cannot accommodate changes to future sessions regardless of the reason.
