Work with multimedia artist and educator Elisabeth Quatrano to practice using your own machine! In this three-hour workshop, Elisabeth will review the principles of all sewing machines and the specifics of your own, top and bobbin threading, and general troubleshooting. In the spirit of play and learning through making, she will guide you in creating a simple tote bag from upcycled fabric in order to apply your new knowledge immediately. You will leave with a one-of-a-kind bag and more confidence! Topics reviewed and practiced: top spool threading, stitches and tension, bobbin reloading, seams vs. applique, seam allowances, troubleshooting, basic construction and basic decorating.

NOTE: Fabric, pins, extra thread, iron, and ironing board will be provided at class. Please bring your personal sewing machine, fabric scissors, all accessories, instruction manual (if you have it). Class is held at Princeton Makes in the Princeton Shopping Center, 301 N. Harrison St. Princeton, NJ.
