What moves the price

  • Instructor's experience — a sewing or knitting instructor with years of garment making or pattern work often charges more per class.
  • Class size — a small sewing group gets more of the instructor's time, so places usually cost more.
  • Complexity of the projects being taught — garment construction or advanced knitting patterns need more teaching time than a beginner class.
  • Machine use — a sewing class where the studio provides the machines usually costs more than one where you bring your own.
  • Materials required — fabric, yarn and patterns for a sewing or knitting class are often priced separately from the lesson.
