Should I bring my sewing machine? Even if it's old?

Bring your sewing machine and your instruction manual. Give yourself five extra minutes to set up and take down your machine. On Thursdays, Stitchin' Sisters has a sewing machine repairman in the shop all day. If your machine needs a tune-up, drop it off in the morning. Stitchin' Sisters also has several machines for our use, but I recommend bringing your own so that you can get used to it.

Will I get hungry?

Stitchin' Sisters also has a nice tea and coffee set-up; bring your favorite tea or coffee to add to the stash (or a little bit of money to add to the pot.) I would also like to suggest that we take turns bringing treats once we get a general idea of who is in the class.


What about trades?

I have been known to accept trades in leu of cash. Please ask me if this is something you are interested in. In the past, I have traded for housecleaning, jewelry, personal training sessions, and dance classes. I am interested in trading for childcare, other classes, massage, fabric, arts & crafts, and food. Just ask!

Where is Stitchin' Sisters located?

Stitchin' Sisters is in Ponderay. If you are headed N. on Hwy 95, take a right just before the Super 8. Take the first left and you will see the store on your right. 400 Schweitzer Plaza Drive. Phone number is 265-9633.

Can I stay late to finish a project?

Stitchin' Sisters usually closes at 5:00 p.m. . They have been kind enough to let us conduct our class an hour after closing, so it is important not to stay past 6:00. I will offer make-up classes in my home studio upon request.
