BASICS: Intro to Sewing Machines

This class runs about 1.5-2 hours and covers basic safety and operations of sewing machines. This will provide the basic information needed to be certified on using a sewing machine at the Lacey MakerSpace. For more in-depth project based hands-on instruction, we offer occasional workshops and one-on-one mentoring.

Basic classes are always free for MakerSpace members. Individuals are welcome to sign up for multiple Basics classes until they feel confident on the equipment.What you will learn:

• Overview of machine parts
• Compatible materials and thread types
• How to thread the machine
• How to thread the bobbin
• Basic stitch patterns

Starting July 19th 2025 we will be instituting a $10 no-show fee for LMS members who don't show up for the classes they sign up for. These fees will be charged to the card we have on file. This fee is being instituted because we have had a pattern of members not showing up to our classes. Our classes have a limited amount of slots and we want to serve as many attendees as possible.

* Please familiarize yourself with our User Agreement and Liability Waiver before arrival. Liability Waiver must be signed in person at the front desk before participating in any activities at the Lacey MakerSpace.
