You thought you wanted to sew, but when you started setting up your machine, you just walked away. I feel you! Join me as we start from scratch. First step will be plugging in the machine. And we will walk away with a finished drawstring bag! Please bring: 1. Sewing machine. If you do not have a sewing machine, there will be 3 available. 2. Instruction book if you still have it. Most are available online & you may bring it on your phone or tablet. 3. power cord 4. foot pedal 5. any accessories you have (extra presser feet, tool kit, oil, etc) 6. thread-I use polyester for general sewing, cotton for quilting-bring what you have 7. bobbin - empty bobbins are preferred as we will practice putting thread on them 8. needles (2) 80/12. Let me know beforehand if you need needles. 9. Phone/camera for taking pictures of setting machine up 10. Scissors or rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting board 11.
