| The Institute of Sewing Arts is a complete sewing school. All classes have consistent, fundamental methods of sewing based on factory methods. While project sewing is fun, sometimes correct techniques are abandoned, and you don't always achieve the desired results. Each of the fundamental techniques are designed to work with the sewing machine making it an extension of your hands. These methods, with practice, will give your projects a professional touch. Each class is in notebook form giving you the opportunity to construct your samples according to your own machine. Along with the specified curriculum, your notebook with samples becomes your own sewing reference manual. |
