Machine Sewing 101

Machine Sewing 101

You’ll leave this class with the foundation for utilizing a standard home sewing machine.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking for a refresher, this workshop will teach you all the ins and outs of a standard home sewing machine. We’ll use the Shoreline Tool Library’s machines to explore questions like…

How do sewing machines work? When should I use each stitch? What’s a bobbin? Why do all the parts have funny names? What’s the deal with the tension? Is this thing I heard about sewing a rule or a guideline? How soon can I make my dream project? And so much more!

You’ll come away with an understanding of machine sewing best practices, a stitch sampler, a PDF with all the information we cover in class, and the confidence to start tackling some projects.

(All tools and materials provided. 18+)

Our sliding scale for classes helps to reduce barriers for participation while retaining sufficient income for Seattle REconomy, which owns and operates the NE Seattle and Shoreline tool libraries. Please choose the level that best fits your family’s income.

Community Threads @ STL

Got a collection of hole-filled socks you can’t get rid of? Have you been meaning to set aside time for your latest alteration, but need some motivation? Come mend with us!

Our Community Threads mending and sewing circle is a monthly event for anyone to work on their textile projects. Any textile craft is welcome! Honestly, any craft is welcome, but we will only be providing sewing supplies (at least at first). There will be sewing machines, fabric, thread and community, as well as hot tea.

This will not be a class format, while there will be experienced menders present to offer advice and counsel, this is intended as a co-working space.
