Sewing members must complete either our PFAFF Sewing 101 course, or Intro to Machine Sewing workshop in order to use the studio space. Once you have purchased your membership, a member of our team will reach out to you regarding booking your course. Rest assured, your membership term does not start on the day of purchase, we want you to have as much studio time as possible so your membership term starts when you are ready. 

We are so excited that you are joining our sewing community. We want to make your sewing journey amazing, carefree, and enjoyable. We want to see what you create! Let us know how we can help. Don't forget to visit our FAQ page for more information. 

Sewing memberships cost $60 per month, first sign-up is for 3 months minimum, after the first 3 months a month-to-month option can be put into place.  

Please see Membership Policies below to see information of your start date, and cancellation policy. Rest assured, your membership term does not start on the day of purchase, we want you to have as much studio time as possible so your membership term starts when you are ready.
