Event Details

We are just over half through our sewing workshop series, 101 Things I Learned in Fashion School! In episode 4, you will tackle the industrial sewing machine and serger. Understanding how industrial machines work and when to use them is a great way to elevate your sewing skills.


By splitting the class into two groups, one group will start with getting hands-on practice threading and testing out our industrial Juki machine while the other group has an opportunity to learn how to use the serger. Half way through the class, we'll swap! Both of these tools will help to elevate your designs and create professional looking pieces.


If you'd like to bring your own machine to learn on, please reach out to education@generatorvt.com before registering!
