Whether you’re brand new to classes or you’ve been sewing for years, we want your experience at The Wobbly Bobbin to be smooth and enjoyable. Here’s what to expect and how to get ready before class begins.

What to bring

Bring your machine and a few basic supplies. If you are not fully familiar with your machine, bring along the manual too.

Basic sewing supplies

• scissors
• pins
• rotary cutter and rulers
• cutting mat
• seam ripper
• marking tools

Check the class listing to see if there are additional supplies needed.

Preparation

Some classes start with a little homework so we can jump right into the fun when you get here. You’ll see any prep instructions in the class description.

If you don’t have everything you need, drop by the shop a few days early to choose your fabric and notions. That way you’ll have plenty of time to get your materials ready.

The day of the class

Come at least fifteen minutes before class is scheduled to start so you can get set up.

The Wobbly Bobbin Sewing Studio — Class Policies

Please take a moment to read through our class policies before registering. Thank you!

General Policies

• Class fees must be paid in full at the time of registration to reserve your spot. Space is filled on a first‑come, first‑served basis.

• Supply lists are available online for each class.

• Class fees cover instruction only unless otherwise noted. Materials are not included.

• Many classes require a pattern, book, or specialized tool. These will be listed on the supply sheet. Each student must have their own legal copy of any required pattern or book.

• Some classes are all‑inclusive (materials bundled into the class fee). If you already own some or all of the required materials, we’ll issue a store credit or gift certificate.

• Students must bring:

  1. A sewing machine in good working order

  2. Machine accessories

  3. Basic sewing supplies unless otherwise stated. Please ensure you’re familiar with your machine before class — bring your manual if you’re unsure.

• We’re happy to help you choose class materials, but please visit before class day so you have time to prepare.

• Some classes include a small amount of homework. Please arrive prepared so you can jump right into the fun.

• Classes begin promptly. Please arrive 15 minutes early to set up.

• Please be considerate of others:

  • Set your phone to silent or vibrate

  • Avoid wearing scented products

  • Bring drinks only in containers with lids

• If the classroom is free after your class, you’re welcome to stay and continue working until the shop closes.

• Please refrain from using perfumed products on the day of class.

Cancellations

• Most classes require a minimum of three students. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment, you will be notified and your full class fee will be refunded or issued as store credit — your choice.

• If you need to cancel, please do so at least seven (7) days before the class. Cancellations made with one week’s notice will receive store credit.

• Cancellations made within seven days of the class are not eligible for store credit, but you may send a friend in your place.

• Workshops and specialty classes may have different or stricter cancellation policies. These will be noted at registration.

Please double‑check your schedule and ensure you’re comfortable with the cancellation policy before enrolling.
