Getting to know your Sewing Machine

What does the workshop cover?
This workshop is a back to basics look at using your sewing machine. Whether you have sewed years ago and what to refresh your skills, or have never sewn before, this is the best place to start. We will
start with looking at the basic functions of your machine, such as tension and changing the stitches. We then will move through how to thread it and how to wind a bobbin, before practising with your sewing machine.
If we have time we will then move on to looking at sewing different fabrics and different seam finishes.
Morgan, your tutor will go through what the different functions are used for, in a relaxed and steady pace. We believe you should really get to know your sewing machine, so you can go home after
the workshop and feel comfortable you have the skills to practice sewing and even start your first projects!
What’s included?
All materials needed for workshop are provided; Please bring your machine with the foot, pedal and lead.
Who the workshop is suitable for
Beginners or someone wanting to refresh their skills
Who the workshop is run by
This workshop is taught by our very own Morgan who is a very experienced dressmaker.
Other things you need to know
All workshops are run at LilyBoo, Lostwithiel on the upstairs floor. There is a steep flight of stairs up to the workshop area but once there you will have everything you need, from a small kitchen for tea and coffee along with a bathroom. The workshops at LilyBoo have bought together people for a chat, to learn something new and there is always lots of laughter.
