Online Sewing Lessons for Beginners

We’re releasing prototype micro-lessons for a short online course, an “Introduction to Sewing Machines”. This short course will help new sewing machine users become comfortable with basic operation and safety, help more experienced users refresh their knowledge.

 

The first online sewing lesson

Please check out our first sewing lesson and let us know what you think! In this first short lesson, we review common sewing machine parts and what they do. We take a quick look at the power switch, tension management, take-up lever, hand-wheel, bobbin-winder and more. Subsequent lessons will dive deeper into machine operation.

 

Other lessons in the module

As we get underway, we’ll roll out each lesson, one by one, as they come off our assembly line. Please have a look, and subscribe to be notified of new lessons as they’re released every few weeks. Eventually there’ll be six lesson modules and we’ll post a short blog to announce each as they roll off our assembly line so you can check them out. 

 

About Soup Stone’s micro-learning courses

Soup Stone’s short micro-learning courses will contain four to six micro-lessons, consumed in as little as five minutes each. They’re intended to enrich hands-on instructor led training workshops. For example, several of the micro-lessons will help set the stage before a workshop, and several will help reinforce concepts after the workshop. This blended approach expands a hands-on workshop into a several weeks learning experience.

We aim to build similar short courses for up to 50 common shop machines and tools. Right now, we are building prototypes. Please consider them drafts for comment. Let us know what you think and how we can improve them. We’d love to hear from you!
