Intro to Bobbin Work
Teacher: Dawn Cavanaugh
Friday, May 3 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Hen & Chicks Studio
Students will create a bobbin work stitch sampler during class that will help them learn the basics of bobbin work, including:
*proper needle selection
*how to make necessary machine adjustments to top and bobbin tension
*selecting decorative stitches suitable for bobbin work
*how to wind bobbins with different fibers
*selecting threads and fibers that work well in the bobbin
*stabilizing the fabric for bobbin work.
Students should have a working knowledge of their sewing machine, including understanding how to thread their machine, wind a bobbin, change a needle, and drop the feed dogs. It is helpful to know if you are able to slow your bobbin winder speed down (check your manual before coming to class).

Over the years, I've tried to take pictures of me holding them or being with them to show how much they are growing. Here's a picture taken this morning before school.
We love you Goldie and Virginia.
