The first class for teens and adults who have never sewn or need a basics refresher. We will cover sewing machine basics--majors parts, threading, bobbin use, simple maintenance and operation. You will learn about seam allowance, to stich straight, back tack, turn corners, pressing and to trouble shoot threading issues. Leave with a completed project: a small purse or sachet. Fresh lavendar available for the sachets! All supplies for this class are provided by the lounge. Use one of our machines or bring your own if you want to learn it specifically. Serves as the prereq for Adult Beginning Sewing I and includes 1.5 hours of lounge time!

    Review of Machine & Sewing Basics, September 02, 2008

    Loved it! I learned all about all of the attachments that have been stored away that I didn't have a clue how to use. Love the buttonhole maker!

    Helen took the time to show everyone the basics of their own machines. We learned some techniques AND I came home with a cute purse!

    I would recommend this class to anyone who has never sewed or those who just need a refresher.
