Free-motion Embroidery: Beginners Taster Lesson (3 hours)This beginner friendly session introduces free-motion embroidery on a standard sewing machine with a drop-feed capability. Students will learn basic setup, safe practice, stitch control, and some simple design creation. By the end, they’ll understand:
What free-motion embroidery is.
What they can achieve.
And will have completed sample examples.
Note: This lesson assumes students already know how to use a sewing machine in general (threading, basic controls, wound bobbin, safe operation). If any student is unfamiliar with sewing machines, consider a pre-workshop quick refresher.

By the end of the session, students will be able to:

Set up a machine for free-motion work (drop feed, appropriate foot, reverse, tension basics).
Control movement to create simple stitches and shapes free-motion style.
Create some free-motion embroidery sampler/designs.
Troubleshoot common issues (thread break, skipped stitches, thread nesting).
