Sewing II - Embroidery Machine In-Person
This is a Level II Sewing Training. OPTIONAL Design Pre-work
For this training, we expect you to have already taken our Sewing training or know how to use a sewing machine, including threading a machine and basic handling of fabric.
Learn to use our digital embroidery machine. We will cover setting up the machine, using built-in fonts, and the software (Inkscape with Ink/stitch) to make fully custom embroidery designs.

You may either practice on one of our designs, or prepare an SVG file to embroider.
Design rules for training files:
- One color on a black or white background
- Solid fills
- Solid strokes 2-6mm wide

Optional: install Inkscape and Ink/Stitch on your own comptuer. If using your own computer, please bring a USB A adapter, we need to get the file onto an old-school usb memory stick.
