What Types Of Classes Does Spotlight Offer?

Sewing and craft classes at Spotlight vary depending on the store and the availability of our expert teachers, and are updated according to seasonal events like Christmas. You can look ahead in the calendar to see which classes are coming up at your chosen store. Spotlight has previously hosted lessons such as beginners sewing classes, learning how to use Cricut machines and making Christmas crafts.

Cricut Classes

For more experienced Cricut machine users, there are classes tailored to using Cricut materials such as Infusible Ink and vinyls in conjunction with the Cricut EasyPress. Participants in these classes have learned how to customise t-shirts, mugs, coasters and tote bags with Cricut Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets and Pens.

Come along to learn the basics like identifying parts of the sewing machine, the types of stitches, how to thread a sewing machine and fundamental sewing techniques. You can bring along your own sewing machine, or utilise one of the sewing machines in the store.
