Starting the Projects

The first meeting of the intermediate sewing group went well. Two members cut out their garments. Other members are still shopping for fabric and some of them will be going to Fabric Mart.

At our next meeting the beginners will be learning how to operate a sewing machine and practice stitching. We start by sewing on a piece of paper without thread in the machine. Students learn  how to start and stop the machine, how to control their speed, how to back stitch and to raise and lower the presser foot. Then we put thread in the machine and practice sewing!
