Event Information
About this Event
Our experienced instructors will teach you the basics of threading, adjusting and maintaining a sewing machine. We believe anyone can start sewing however we would recommend this workshop is suitable for ages 8+yrs.
You will learn how to:
- Fill the bobbin and fit it into the sewing machine
- Thread your machine
- Take up of bobbin thread
- Sewing straight stitching and vary stitch length
- Change stitch selection and vary stitch width
- Sew curves
Please note: this workshop is designed to be a beginner class to start you off with sewing. If you have attended previously, or already have basic sewing skills, we cannot cater for you in our Learn to Sew class. This has changed from what we previously offered. Please keep an eye on our Eventbrite and Facebook for upcoming intermediate project-based sewing workshops.
