From the desk of Jan Brostek
Dear Friend,
If you're reading this, I'd bet we have a lot in common. You love sewing. You've got a fabric stash that keeps growing (and a few new purchases you'd rather your husband didn't see). And somewhere in your sewing room there's a bin of projects you fully intend to finish… someday.
Maybe you sew often, but you know your machine can do so much more than you ask of it. Those decorative stitches you've never touched. The serger you dread threading. The quilt top that's been waiting for free motion quilting because you're terrified of ruining all that work.
Here's the part nobody says out loud: it doesn't get better on its own. Every month, the pile gets a little taller and the machine you invested in sits a little quieter. You watch a YouTube video, get halfway, hit a snag, and there's nobody to ask. Classes cost hundreds of dollars, if there's even a good sewing store near you.
It's not that you can't do it. It's that you've been doing it alone.
I've owned a sewing store for over forty years. In that time I've watched thousands of customers walk out the door with a beautiful new machine and a big smile.
And I noticed something. Some of those customers came back a year later with finished quilts, garments, and gifts, sewing things they never dreamed they could. Others came back with the same machine still in the box, embarrassed, asking if they could "start over."
For years I assumed the difference was talent. It wasn't.
The customers who flourished had three things: great teachers, someone to ask when they got stuck, and friends who kept them coming back. They took our classes. They came to our events when we brought in the best educators in the country. They showed off their projects at the counter. The ones who struggled went home and tried to figure it out alone.
That's when it clicked for me. Confidence at the machine isn't something you're born with. It's something you're surrounded by.
The problem was, most people can't get to my store. My youngest son kept saying, "Mom, we have to put this on YouTube." He was right. Millions of views later, people started driving and flying in from all over the country just to take a class.
That's when I knew we had to bring the whole store to you: the classes, the educators, and the friends. So we did.
Introducing Sew It Online:
The sewing store experience,rebuilt for your home.
This isn't another video library, and it isn't another class you take once and forget. It's the same three things that made my most successful customers successful:
Ask.
Live calls every other week with our educators, plus sew-alongs and Q&A sessions. Stuck on something? Bring it to the call and we'll walk you through it.
Belong.
Thousands of members sharing projects in Sew & Tell, joining challenges, and sewing for others in our Charity Center. The friends who keep you coming back.
YouTube gives you answers to questions you already know to ask. A one-time class gives you a weekend. Sew It Online gives you a place to keep growing, every week.
I've heard every reason for not getting started.
Here are the big three, and what our members found out.
01
"I can just learn this for free on YouTube."
You can learn a technique on YouTube. What you can't get is a path, the next step, or someone to ask when your tension goes wonky at 9pm. Inside Sew It Online, every episode is organized so you always know what to learn next, and the live calls mean you're never stuck for long.

"I'm not good enough for that." /"I already know how to sew."
Margaret was sure she'd ruin her quilts with free motion. Today she's finishing them and learning paper piecing. Barbara has sewn for 60 years and still learned something new in her first course. Beginner or expert, there's a next level, and you'll get there with us.

"I don't have time, and I'd never remember it all."
You don't need a free weekend. Episodes run on your phone in 20-minute pockets of time [confirm typical length], and you can rewatch any section as many times as you need. Donna does exactly that.

It opened a whole new world!
I always dreamed of making quilts. I could do the basics, but I was scared a mistake in free motion would ruin all my hard work, and I didn't think I could bind the edges correctly. Now I can do both, and I'm learning paper piecing.
MFMargaret F.
I've been sewing 60 years and I learned something new.
I'd consider myself advanced. I bought Beyond the Basics and was amazed at the value. I upgraded to the membership, and now I love watching episodes and getting inspired. It's the community I didn't know I was missing.
BMBarbara M.
I can rewatch anything, right from my phone.
It really is a wealth of knowledge. My favorite part is going back to rewatch a section as many times as I want, because it's hard to remember everything. The app makes it so easy.
DKDonna K.
I'm surrounded by people who want to see me grow.
Since I joined, my sewing skills have taken a huge leap. I'm not afraid to move into more complicated projects.

TOTAL VALUE
$1,797
Think about what this would cost the old way. A single class at a sewing store runs [class price], plus gas, a day off, and maybe a hotel. A private lesson is [lesson price] an hour. And the machine you already own cost far more than any of that, which makes every month it sits underused the most expensive part.
You're not going to pay $1,797.
You're not even going to pay what one class costs.

Who this is for(AND WHO IT ISN'T)
Sew It Online is for you if:
- You own a machine, serger, or embroidery machine and know you're only using part of it
- You have unfinished projects you genuinely want to finish
- You learn best by watching, asking, and sewing alongside others
- You're a beginner who wants a clear path, or an experienced sewer who wants new inspiration
It's not for you if:
- You want a single video for a single question and nothing more
- You're not willing to spend a little time each week at your machine
- You'd rather sew alone and never share a project
