Saturday, March 23rd at 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Join us for an afternoon to learn the basics and operation of a sewing machine with our Fiber Artist/Librarian Molloy Rogers.

You will walk away with an understanding of:

  • Sewing machine functions
  • Stitch settings and when to use them
  • Sewing machine presser foot functions and other accessories
  • Bobbin creation and operation
  • A project sewn by you to take home

Sewing machines are provided but you are welcome to bring your own.

This class will qualify you for sewing machine use in the branch at our monthly sewing circles. The series will be followed in the spring and summer by Sustainable Sewing: Mending and Repair.

Almon scholarship to Penland School of Crafts, where she studied the applications of natural dyes, and the Shibori process as applied to weaving.
