What is the best way to learn how to use a sewing machine?
I want to learn how to use a sewing machine. I want to learn how to make clothes and quilts. I love crafts. I make floral arrangements, wreaths and photo albums. I’ve sold many of my designs. I want to learn a new skill.
Learning How to Sew
Great, you want to learn how to sew! Start out with a good foundation. Learn basic stitches by hand first. A good way to start is to use a kit that teaches 12 functional hand stitches. The kit & materials can be viewed at:

Lots of people think they should get a pattern and hop on a sewing machine. This is wrong, wrong, wrong! Anyone who sews should understand the mechanics of sewing by using their hands first. After you’ve mastered the elementary introduction of hand-stitching, take a class at your local community college if it is offered, or from a fabric store. You’ll learn how to lay-out a pattern, read the symbols, talk about fabric weaves, and cutting.
A good foundation is better than a shaky one. Starting out blind on a mechanical device beyond your control can be frustrating to say the least. If clothes designing is where you’d like to go, believe me, it will involve knowledge of hand sewing & machine work. People don’t realize the value of hand sewing first. Look at the example of the traditional kimono, why are authentic ones so expensive? Beyond the fact that the fabric is exquisite, it is also completely hand sewn!
Good luck! You can do it.
