HOW TO Use Your Sewing Machine

This hands-on workshop is for beginners and those who haven't used their machine in a while. It will guide you through setting up and help show you how to get the most from your sewing machine.

It will include

• learning to wind the bobbin and thread your machine
• understanding the various functions and stitches of your sewing machine
• simple problem solving

Our volunteer tutors will help answer any specific questions and resolve issues you have with your machine.

As this workshop is primarily intended to help you get the most out of your own machine, sewing machines do vary, it is best to learn on your own machine.

Don't forget to bring your own machine and the manual for your machine would be helpful too!

• If you don’t have the manual for your sewing machine, please try to Google the model name and print a copy to bring with you to the workshop. Just make sure it’s not in Chinese—unless you’re able to read it! 😊
• If you don't have your own sewing machine we have a limited number that you can borrow (please select Borrow A Sewing Machine at checkout).

Please note that this is an adult only event and we are asking for a suggested donation of £10 or £5 for students and low waged. Your session will typically last for a least one hour. We may contact you to arrive at a specific time depending on numbers.

P.S. don't forget your power lead and foot pedal!
