Summer Is Here!
Featherweight and Serger Club have been postponed to restart in the fall on an alternate every other month basis as a trial. We believe everyone wanted to do everything and it became too much of a commitment. Remember these are "clubs" and they belong to you. You have to share/teach and gain knowledge from each other. HHQ staff are there because they have a passion and want to share in the learnings too so if you have something cool you have learned - please call and let us know you are willing to teach one of these months so we can communicate the project and get everyone re-energized.
Featherweight will meet September & November.
Serger Club will meet August, October and December.
We are also going to restructure our Mastery Class Offerings. While we have taught them for anyone wanting to take them for two years, we feel like the cycle of those wanting to hone up on their skills has passed. We will now be offering Mastery on appointment basis only so that we can have like kind machines in the room. It is pretty distracting to have several models in the room at the same time. The first time will be free as usual, but we will always be willing to teach the machines by appointment for $30/hour. So if you have a special technique you can't get going, just call in, we will schedule an appointment and teach that technique - which is where we hope to focus our efforts going forward with shorter training sessions! Stay tuned.
