Overview
Welcome to the Textiles Area. We have a pretty good selection of machines.
Our Consew 206RB-4 walking foot industrial sewing machine is good for sewing heavy materials such as leather and canvas. We swapped out the clutch motor for a servo, so the machine is now much easier to use. Most home machines come with servo motors—just much smaller than the one on the Consew.
There is a Bablylock Lauren 4-thread serger.
We have 6 regular sewing machines. Each machine is a little different, from a good solid old workhorse to a newer Baby Lock with some computerized stitches.
We do have an older Singer Futura embroidery machine, but we need to find someone with the right touch to get the importing of designs working. We have also recently acquired a professional grade Barudan embroidery machine on long-term loan.
You can use our vinyl cutter to make signs or window decals or designs to press onto T-shirts and tote bags with our heat press.
Material and Thread
We've provided tub of fabric from Fabmo and there are variety of thread about in labeled drawers.
Tools
To support your project we have basic sewing notions - measuring/cutting mats, work tables, and a variety of scissors, rotary cutters, etc.
A steam iron and ironing board are available for pressing and finishing your pieces.
There are bobbins available for the sewing machines, please insure you use the right one for the right machine. All MN bobbins stay at MN. If you want to use your own thread, then you'll probably want to invest in a few bobbins. They can be found very in expensively.
Leatherworking
There are some basic leather tools, anvils, rivets, snaps, and a great grommet setter.
There a couple of tubs of leather scraps, ask around if you can't find them.
