Location: Craftster Compound, Metal Shop and Computer Lab
Class Size: 42 students
Class Description: Have you spent hours searching for that perfect sewing machine? The one that does it all, comes with everything, and doesn’t cost a fortune? Well this class will teach you how to build your own! We’ll be making a fully functioning electric machine with up to 120 built-in stitches that you’ll program yourself. The class will take up to 12 hours, with two breaks for meals, to be provided by the Craftster Compound’s cooking classes.
Please be prepared to use light welding equipment.
Cost: $95 per person for the class cost plus $120 per person for materials. At the end of class, you may purchase the machine you’ve worked on for only $75! Any machines not purchased then will be sold on Etsy and the profit will go to support Craftster.
What to Bring: • A minimum of one gallon of coffee, prepared and sweetened to your personal taste. We don’t want anyone getting sleepy around the torches!
• A pack of universal needles.
• Scrap metal
• Duct tape
• Paper clips
• A motherboard, compatible with PC programming.
• A kitchen stand mixer, gently used is fine.
• Protective Eye Gear (rhinestones encouraged!)
• Heavy Work Gloves elbow length
**Stay and for an extra $100 and six hours, equip your machine for machine embroidery! You can use it in our Embroidery Class!
**Take your protective gear and any dinner scraps over to PixieVal’s Trash to Treasure class!
