Sewing Machine Basics

A hands-on primer for anyone who has a sewing machine but no idea where to start. This workshop at the Harold Washington Library Center walks through the machine's anatomy—feed dogs, presser feet, and the always-fiddly threading process—so you leave with a working grasp of the basics. It's a practical, low-stakes session for absolute beginners, held Tuesday, October 20, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Registration is open now, and the library notes that accessibility accommodations are available with two weeks' notice.
