Textiles: Intro to Machine Embroidery

DESCRIPTION

Learn the art of machine embroidery! This introductory class teaches the basic principles of how to prepare your workpiece and stitch out a design using the Brother SE-400 sewing machine.

Topics covered in this class include:

• Identifying parts of the sewing machine and setting it up for embroidery
• Installing a bobbin and threading the machine
• Preparing a workpiece using different stabilizers, attachment methods, and hoops
  
• Selecting and loading design patterns, including text and frames
• Adjusting the design layout, including size, position, and rotation
• Stitching the design
• Troubleshooting

Note: This is the certification class for the Brother SE-400 sewing machine and is the prerequisite for all other machine embroidery classes taught at TinkerMill.

No previous sewing or embroidery experience is needed. In fact, this class is a good way to learn the basics of sewing machine operation in a fun, easy setting where the machine does most of the work for you!

This class is open to the public. The cost is $45 for TinkerMill members and $60 for non-members. All materials are included. 14+ only.
