Learn the basics of using your sewing machine. We’ll talk about the functions of the machine and troubleshooting issues. Please bring your machine, as well as a bobbin, foot control/power cord, needle, presser foot, scrap fabric to sew off on, and thread. Molly will also provide fabric scraps for free and have bobbins and other items available for a nominal fee. Instructor Molly Phoenix manages The Sewing Machine Exchange in Portland, Maine. She has been sewing since she could grasp a seam ripper. Her projects range from scrunchies and apparel to home decor and camping gear.
