I have a wonderful group of new students that are meeting on a regular basis. We had a class on Machine Basics to include threads, oiling, using our manuals (as far as I’m concerned the most important) needles, and tensions among other things. The second class was about fabrics, rotary cutting, and free motion quilting. It has been fun and I think everyone has learned a little something. If you don’t have a good relationship with. your machine you won’t enjoy the sewing process whether you want to do clothing, home dec, quilting or fabric arts.
This week we will making bags and learn how to put in a zipper. They can free motion the bag body and use the new skill from last class or just concentrate on putting in that zipper. Amazed at how many people shy away from anything to do with a zipper when it’s really quite simple.
So learning to put in the zipper and how to make two styles of bags and adjusting the size to fit your needs, These bags are addictive and I see some Christmas gifts in the future. Come to think of it I need to order more zippers….. Thank you Melissa from LuLu’s Craft Boutique and Party Studio, 906 New York Ave., Alamogordo, NM for use of the classroom.
