DESCRIPTION

In this class, you will learn how to thread and operate your own sewing machine. Basic operations will be taught as you make a simple tea towel to take home. Common problems such as jammed needles and broken threads will be covered. Understanding your sewing machine will give you the confidence to pursue sewing projects at home or at GB Arts!

This course is a prerequisite to open studio in textiles.
