Holyoke Community College

Do you have a sewing machine that you would like to become better acquainted with? Did you inherit a machine or buy one on line and need some hands on instruction on how to use it? Then come to this class! Bring your sewing machine with you to this one-day class and learn how to thread your machine and wind a bobbin on your machine. We will explore stitch settings and learn how to use the “free arm”, on your sewing machine if it has one. If time allows, we'll also discuss a variety of presser feet included with sewing machines, needle settings, and other options such as sewing a buttonhole. We'll discuss common sewing snags, and show you how best to unravel them. A basic introduction to material and thread choices will be part of our discussion as well. Please bring your sewing machine and manual (if you have one), bobbins, woven cotton fabric, thread, and scissors to class.
