Getting to Know Your Sewing Machine
Instructor: Karalyn Wysocki
Location: Oak Building, downstairs
Get to know your sewing machine! In this class we will do a deep dive into understanding and getting comfortable using your machine. In addition to covering parts, functions, and essential tools, we will master threading and bobbin winding. You will gain confidence in maneuvering the machine, learn about troubleshooting tension, adjusting stitch settings, and explore the versatility of your machine with functions like zig-zag stitching and creating buttonholes. Put your skills into action as we end the class by completing a tote bag project. Join us for an engaging and hands-on sewing experience! Note: Students must obtain additional supplies for this course, listed below. Students cannot purchase supplies, materials, and/or books from the instructor.
