Guide Classes
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Husqvarna Viking, Janome, Elna or Brother Sewing Machine, Embroidery Machine or Serger!
At Sew-N-Vac, we firmly believe the more you know about your new sewing machine or serger, the more use you will get from it and the happier you will be. Therefore, we are offering the following guide classes, without charge, for those who purchased their new machine(s) from us.
A few things to consider:
-
Inclement weather policy. When our area is affected by inclement weather, we will follow the Knox County Schools schedule. If you believe driving to a class is unsafe, please don't try. We will reschedule the class, as you probably are not alone.
-
To register, stop by any of our store locations, or call at 865-637-2338, or 865-692-0743.
-
In order for us to offer a class, we must have a minimum of 3 signed up.

Title: 5D Stitch Editor, Design Aligner & Cross Stitch

Title: 5D Design Creator
Do you have a logo or simple drawing you would like to stitch out? First you must create a stitch file of the "jpg" file. This is where 4D Design Creator goes to work for you.

Creative Sewing and Embroidery Classes
As you all know, the best way to learn anything is by doing. The following classes are designed for just that. They are hands on sewing and embroidery classes. You will be bringing your sewing machines to each class. These are not demos! Since there is a lot of preparation involved for our instructors (plus of course their talents and knowledge), there is a fee for each creative class. Register for these classes as for the guide classes. You are not officially registered until your class fee is paid.
Register for classes in the Husqvarna Viking Sewing Center or call us at 865-637-2338 or 865-365-1408 or 865-692-0743.
