Sewing Classes & Courses
Elna does not offer sewing classes. Rather, we stimulate job opportunities for those who are able to offer this specialized and often personal service.
Elna does offer introductory training on every elna product in which our customers invest. This includes elna Press, sewing machines and
accessories etc. Instructions are also available on most sewing feet on www.elna.com.
Click on accessories. Select the foot. Click on image to enlarge or download PDF. Need information? Click on sewing ideas, select project
and click. Download instructions, click on PDF.
Below is a list of sewing teachers/schools/colleges etc. who offer sewing, embroidery, quilting, and sew-craft classes/courses. Elna does not warrant, has no financial interest, and has no preference in any of those listed below. The list recorded here is to assist teachers and pupils who have an interest in sewing. Elna cannot be held liable for any loss as result of any transaction between pupil and training facility listed below.
