Get to know your sewing machine.
We’ve heard it a lot, “I’ve got a sewing machine, but I don’t know how to use it” If that sounds familiar then this one day workshop is for you. Dust that machine off, grab all the parts and head over to Art Salvage for a sewing machine workshop. This class is the perfect primer for our other Upcycle Fashion Lab classes.
What we’ll teach:
Let’s get that machine clean: how to clean and oil your sewing machine
How a sewing machine works
How to thread your machine
How to wind a bobbin
What all those dials do
The different types of needles and threads and when you should use what
Common adjustments to make when your machine misbehaves, ie) troubleshooting
By the end of this class you’ll not only know your machine, you’ll have made something with it!

You will receive a phone call from one of the instructors before class for a verbal intake of your machine to ensure it’s in a condition to use in class.
