Terry's Classes My classes require that each student
have a sewing machine that is in good working order. Each student
should be familiar with her machine and have a good relationship with it.
If there are problems with the machine at home, there will be problems
with it in class.Sewing machines should be clean. In the case of the
threadpainting classes, the machines need to have the capability of
dropping or covering the feed teeth.
Please be sure to bring everything the supply list states.
Besides the class sample, I bring to class lots of other things to show
and tell. We do have fun in my classes, but my main focus is on the
students and making sure that they learn as much as they want.
3 day workshops are available.
Advanced Threadpainting If you are a group interested in a 3

There will be preparation work required. The student will work with
images of her own choice and each will develop her own stitch
techniques that suit the design of the work and style of the student.

Personal Effects If you are a group interested in a 3 day
workshop of embellishment design and techniques, contact me. There
