Fall classes are gearing up at The Academy of fine Sewing & Design. We offer after school classes for kids aged 12 and up. For those interested in pursuing a career in fashion, we offer help with portfolio preparation. Most portfolios are due in early 2011, so now is a good time to get organized. We can help you choose suitable projects for your portfolio.
We are offering the 200 series of machines at a great saving for Back to School specials. All four of the machines in this line up offer great features. Everything from an Activa 210 which is a solid basic machine for a beginner to the Activa 240 which comes with a huge stitch package, several styles of buttonholes, alphabets and a knee lever to lift the presser foot; perfect for the quilter or garment maker.
Drop by Homestead Stitches or The Academy of fine Sewing & Design for a free demo.
