The Very Basics: Getting To Know Your Machine Workshop

October is an exciting month for workshops at Ragfinery! Guest instructors will be teaching techniques in basic sewing, fabric selection, and how to make zippered pouches . It’s a great way to learn a new skill, meet new people, and support local craftspeople. Below is a list of our upcoming workshops.

Do you have a sewing machine but you don’t know what to do with it? Bring it to this class. You’ll learn to wind a bobbin, thread the machine, what needles are best for what kinds of fabrics, and what all the knobs on your machine do. You will also learn how to troubleshoot simple problems like installing the bobbin, adjusting tension, the “clutch”, etc.
