Textiles: Industrial Sewing Machines - Instruction & Certification

Details

We will be doing a 1 1/2 - 2 hour session introducing and providing hands on first experience with our Industrial Walking Foot (feet) sewing machines.

The course will cover fundamentals of manual (hand wheel) sewing, bobbin winding, thread loading, and tension modulation for different materials.

We will discuss different fundamental techniques such as turning corners, double stitching start and finish sections of a stitch set.

Everyone in the class will have an opportunity to run one or more of the machines.

There are no Pre-Requisites but previous sewing experience or completion of our "Introduction to Textiles and Sewing class" is recommended.

Please review this Wiki Page in advance of the class so that when we go over this so that we do not inspire "what did you just say?" reactions.
