Meet Your Sewing Instructor
Hi I'm Anna, and I’ve been sewing for over 15 years, for the last 5 years Ive worked at a sewing machine dealership, where I learned most of my troubleshooting skills.
I love helping people feel comfortable and confident with their machines, no matter their skill level. My goal is to pass on skills that can be built up as as a foundation and can be used to fuel your inner creativity.
I specialize in troubleshooting, costume design with an emphasis on garment construction, quilting, embroidery and machine help.
What sets me apart is my approach — I’m patient, easy to work with, and I will help you tackle any project no matter how big or small. My goal is to make learning fun, stress-free, and tailored to you so you can get the most out of your machine!
