Using Your Sewing Machine -
Basic Sewing Techniques
This session will introduce you to several sewing techniques that are commonly used in dressmaking and soft furnishings. Using your sewing machine, you will make samples of these techniques that can be referenced for future projects.
Topics covered include:
Fabric grain
Tailors’ tacks
Hems
Seams and seam finishing
Darts
Bias binding
Piping
Zips
Buttonholes
Buttons
Casing with elastic or tape
Your tutor will guide you through each technique enabling you to create a sample for each process covered on the day.
Students are required to bring along their own sewing machines, which should be in good working order, as well as the machine instruction manual. If you do not have a copy of your manual you can usually find these online.
You are also requested to bring along any machine attachments, bobbins and machine needles as certain techniques may require different types of feet for samples such as zips and piping.
Your tutor will provide some fabric and threads for making your samples and also some trimmings. This cost is included in your course fee.
This is the perfect follow on workshop to ‘Getting To Know Your Sewing Machine’ giving you the confidence to take your machine sewing skills one step further.
It is also perfect for those students who have not used their sewing machines for some time and who may want to refresh their machining skills.
A light lunch will be provided.
