Sewing with knits can be tricky! We will show you the tips and tricks of sewing with knit material and making professional-looking, beautiful knit garments. Knits are commonly sewn with sergers but we will use our PFAFF Ambition 610 Sewing Machine -- you can sew with knits on a home machine! This workshop is best for people who have sewn at least one garment before. 

This workshop is 9 hours total split over 4 evenings. During this time you will receive expert instruction on best practices for sewing with knits on your home sewing machine, you will practice your stitches on some knit materials, and finally you will sew yourself a stretch jersey T-shirt using your new skills.
