Buy S-T-R-E-T-C-H WOVEN. For example, your jeans are woven. They might have stretch in it. Therefore, ask for WOVENS with Stretch or Lycra in it. Your t-shirt or sweater are knit so try not to buy knit stretch.

After the 5th session, we strongly recommend that you buy a sewing machine for home use. Then, you will get comfortable threading and sewing on a machine as well as complete any unfinished work from class. Students, who own sewing machines, complete their projects faster and develop confidence with sewing quickly. If you are looking for a sewing machine, try all of the models we sell in your first session.
We recommend the following machines:
Brother CS-6000b - BUY NOW
Brother XL-2600i - BUY NOW
Brother Pacesetter NX-250 - Available in our store
Brother Pacesetter NX-450 - Available in our store
PLEASE NOTE: Sew Fast Sew Easy sells the sewing notions but we do not sell fabric.
Fabric should be purchased before you come to class. All other supplies are available for purchase at the store. Pattern will be provided on the day of class. Save all your questions for class.
We suggest the following places for fabric, but we do not know their hours of operation. Contact them and let them know you are from Sew Fast Sew Easy.
