Sewing Basics
The following items will be needed for every sewing class:
Sewing Machine in good working order**
Sewing Machine manual
Sewing Machine needles – various sizes
Bobbins for your sewing machine
Basic sewing tools (see contents of sewing kit on beginning sewing page)
A good attitude and a desire to learn!
Optional Items:
Pen
Pencil
Notebook
Ruler or yardstick
**If you are not sure if you will enjoy sewing and do not want to make an investment in a machine, I currently have two machines that
can be rented for the length of the class. They are available on a first come basis. The fee for a 3 session class is $10.
If you are looking for a sewing machine, Wal-Mart currently has two – a Brother, model LS2125i, at $69.00 and a Singer, model 3116, at 99.97. Either one would be a great choice for a beginner. The Singer has a few more bells and whistles than the Brother, as is reflected in the price.
