The Maker Space at the Advanced Learning Library now has a Janome 2222 sewing machine. This is a mechanical sewing machine great for beginners.

Materials Provided

The Library provides basic sewing machine needles and sewing machine bobbins as needed and will have all-purpose scissors available. When you come in to use the machine, you will need to have your own sewing materials/notions including fabric, pins, thread, fabric shears, and specialty sewing machine needles.

The sewing machine is located on a 6-foot rectangular table which provides enough space for sewing and some cutting and/or pinning but at this time there will not be a dedicated cutting or ironing table. We recommend cutting and/or ironing your fabric prior to your booking time if possible.
