Gordon’s Viking Sewing Center “Hands-On” Workshops are designed to teach you the full use of your sewing machine. All supplies are furnished; you bring only your machine, accessories, foot control, power cord, scissors and something to take notes with.
Classes are included with your machine purchase from us (Gordon’s Viking Sewing Center of San Jose)*.
Pre-Registration is required to assure your place in class. Class dates and times vary each month and are subject to change. Calendars are available at our store and downloadable on our website.
Please ask when in doubt as to which classes are available for your specific model.

Each 2 hour workshop will help to increase you knowledge beyond “just the basics” of what your Viking sewing machine can do. In these classes we cover different techniques using specialty and basic sewing machine feet and accessories. These classes include “Hands-On” - you and your sewing machine participate with your machine and Demonstrations. It is you, your machine, a pair of scissors, and something to take notes with. We supply the rest.
We currently do one Workshop a month and rotate through. You do not have to start at Workshop 1 as each class is designed to increase your skills and answer your questions.
