Sewing Machine Workshop

[Tara Martel]

I expect you've all been tripping over the two industrial machines in the downstairs space and thinking, "I wish I knew how to use those,"?

Well now here's your chance!

There will be a workshop at 2pm Saturday 23rd Sept (2017).

I will cover threading, bobbin preparation and needle replacement and we may even make a small leather pouch (if that's your thing) if we have time.

[David Jenkins]

Just turn up?

[Tara Martel]

No, I can only do three people at a time so please book by adding your name here.

Marie would like to come if there's still space :)

[Arthur]

I do want an intro on these but don't know when I will be in on Saturday. So don't count me, but I might show up and see if there is a space :)

[Fe]

Sorry for the late notice, Marie won't be able to make it. I'm not very well and so she is staying home to take care of me. If you run another workshop Marie would be interested. Sorry again.

Hello Tara, I have it that this is Sat 30th? If so then i will be along. As mentioned in the other thread i would like to make a leather lily rather than a purse, a bit cheeky but if you can help me make it look 'lillyish' then that would be great.

Thx -Mike

Tara will you be running another one of these workshops? Unfortunately due to some time constrains Marie won't be able to make this week but she is looking forward to learning how to use the machines. Sorry for being a pest.

No worries. I will be there anyway this afternoon and I'm also planning to be there on Monday too but can't be held to a time.

I won't be able to do one for the next couple of Saturdays but I can do one Saturday 21st Oct and again on the 28th.

I just want to thank Tara for a thorough and well paced workshop on the two leather sewing machines. I felt confident enough to dive in and make a leather lily as my first project using the hand Patcher machine, and never sewed my finger until I picked up a hand stitching needle later!

-Mike

[Tara Martel]

I will be doing the next Sewing Machine workshop/induction on 28th October if anyone is interested.

Hi Tara, 

Are you still doing one on the 21st for Marie? Unfortunately Marie can't make the 28th. If you can't do the 21st is there any other dates you could do? Thank you :)

[Tara Martel]

I will be away next weekend unfortunately. I was supposed to have gone this weekend just gone but circumstances intervened. Are you about on Wednesday?

Indeed. Of course I will be doing more and more workshops. Perhaps taking it further with leather crafting, pattern cutting for footwear then on to shoe making. I may even do more advanced sewing machine stuff, showing how to adjust timing and to do minor repairs and adjustments.

Hello Tara,

I was able to use the treddle on the Patcher, it needed the belt shortening slightly, and I used the smaller below wheel and the larger above one to get enough oomph. It allowed me to use both hands and ran well once I got the knack of starting in the forward direction. I was able to stitch 3 layers of leather and 2 demin together on an edge seam.

Thank you. -Mike

[Tara Martel]

I will be down about 7ish. The induction takes a couple of hours.
