Holyoke Community College

In this one shot class Andrea will be a resource for students to help them understand how to use their sewing machines. Beginners will leave confident of how to thread their own machine, wind a bobbin and sew a simple draw string bag. The first half of the class will feature one on one interaction with students to make sure they can thread and wind a bobbin. Following the threading can be challenging at first. As students become more familiar with the threading they will move on to some stitching of straight lines to get better control of the speed and how the fabric and machine work together. Fabric and drawstrings will be provided. Students will also learn how to make a drawstring bag with step by step instruction. If time permits, we may also explore zig-zag stitches, hem stitch and zipper foot. Sign up for this interactive beginners class now!
