About this Course

COURSE: Introduction to Machine Sewing

AGE REQUIREMENTS: age 6 to adult

STUDENT-TEACHER RATIO: 1:1 or 2:1 (This course is intended to be a private course, in which the teacher is working exclusively with one student. The option exists for the mother to sit in the course as an observer, without participating, for no extra charge. Another option is for the mother to take the course with the child, with both mother and child each completing their own version of the same project together in the class. The option also exists for two siblings to take the course together, with each of the siblings completing their own version of the same project together in the class. The latter two options increase the rate. See below.)

RATE FOR ONE CHILD TAKING THE COURSE: $30 per 1-hour course, including supplies. (This class is ESA approved. ESA covers 100% of the fees for this course for any student that has an ESA Class Wallet account established with the necessary funds in the account.)

RATE FOR ONE CHILD AND ONE PARENT TAKING THE COURSE TOGETHER: $50 per one-hour course, including supplies. (ESA will cover $30 of the $50 if the child has an ESA Class Wallet account established with the necessary funds in the account.)

ESA will cover $30 per child for those who have an ESA Class Wallet account established with the necessary funds in the account. The option also exists for the two siblings to take the course independently of one another, each for 1 hour, with 1:1 student teacher ratio, which is the preference of the teacher.)
