Program Description

Event Details

This is a small-group training session to learn how to use the sewing machines in the Library's MakerLab.  This session is open to ages 10-adult.  Please include every person who will be attending when you register. 

 This session will cover:

  • how to thread the top thread and bobbin
  • how to set stitches and tension
  • how to read a basic pattern and prep the pieces
  • how to sew a basic seam and basic top stitch
  • questions on how to use the machines for your own projects

During this session we will work on a sewn bookmark project to learn how to read patterns and to practice using the machine.  This workshop is intended for beginners.
