Introduction to Treadle Sewing

Discover the basics of treadle sewing in this two-hour, hands-on workshop!

• Wednesday, September 17th, 4-6pm. 

• Sunday, September 21st, 4-6pm

You’ll learn how these historic machines work, explore different bobbin types, and go over essential care and maintenance. Most excitingly, you’ll get to try three different treadle machines—including a gorgeous 1926 Singer 127 with ornate sphinx details, which will be up for auction at our upcoming fundraiser party!

Please note: this is an introductory skills workshop and discussion. Students will not leave with a finished craft, but will gain confidence in understanding and operating treadle machines.

This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about using a treadle for the first time or looking to build confidence with the basics! Ages 10 and up are welcome (youth must be accompanied by an adult).

$25/all materials provided.

Instructor: This class is taught by Karen.
