Introduction to Sewing
Have you just taken up the wonderful hobby of sewing, and don’t quite know where to begin? You have so many questions, this is a complicated hobby, what am I getting myself into? I go and buy fabric but just don’t know what to do with it! I am afraid to take the sewing machine I bought out of the box! So many sewing machines, how do I tell the differences between them, which one is for me? What are all these different feet for?
If you have asked any of these questions, this informal lecture/discussion class is for you. The class will cover:
Sewing machine types & brands overview – new vs. vintage
What kind of machine do I need and how do I get it?
Anatomy of the sewing machine
Care and feeding of the sewing machine
What equipment do I really need?
Needles and bobbins - types, how they are inserted matters!!!
Threading, types of spools
Equipment – cutting mats, rotary cutters, rulers
Fabric & interfacing types
Irons & pressing
Sewing tips & more!
