What we’ll do together

You may not even know what all the parts of your sewing machine are called.

That’s fine.

We can work through setting up the machine, threading it, winding and inserting the bobbin, using the basic controls, controlling the speed, reverse and getting you sewing your first seam.

If you already know some of that, we don’t waste your hour going over it again.

We’ll focus on what you need to feel more comfortable sitting down at your machine and getting on with the sewing.

Your machine. Your questions. Your pace.

What Jess said after her session

“Jan made everything feel easy during the session, even the simplest things like winding a bobbin, without ever being patronising.

The walkthrough was clear, practical and reassuring, and I came away genuinely excited to get my machine out and start sewing.”

★★★★★ — Jess

“Actually having it in front of me, having the manual out, and having someone human just talk me through was really reassuring.”

How it works

01 — Book your session
Book your private 60-minute Sewing Machine Setup Session for £97.

02 — Tell me about your machine
Tell me the make and model, how much you’ve used it — if at all — and what you’d like help with.

That gives me a chance to look at your machine before we meet.

03 — Bring your machine to Zoom
Have your sewing machine in front of you and your manual nearby if you have it.

Then we get to work.

You’ll be using your machine while I guide you through the things we’ve agreed to cover.

04 — Get a recap after the session
Afterwards, I’ll email you a short overview of what we covered so you have a record to refer back to.

If you decide you’d like some more private help, you’re welcome to book another session.

Before you book

Does my sewing machine need to be working?

Yes. This session is for learning how to set up and use a working modern domestic sewing machine. If your machine won’t switch on, is jammed, appears damaged or you suspect there is a mechanical or electrical fault, please have it checked by a sewing-machine repair technician before booking. Vintage, industrial and specialist machines aren’t covered.

What if my machine is different to yours?

Tell me the make and model of your machine before we meet and keep your manual nearby if you have it. We'll work with your machine.

What should I have with me?

Have your sewing machine, power cable, foot pedal, manual if you have one, thread, bobbin, sewing machine needle, a small piece of cotton fabric and a pair of scissors nearby. Then we're ready to go.

What happens after I pay?

After checkout, you'll choose your appointment time and tell me about. your sewing machine and what you'd like help with.
