Sewing machine

Our Singer Patchwork 7284Q sewing and quilting machine is a great addition to the space. Vital for all your soft-tech and wearable projects and great for fixing up a pair of jeans too. The machine has an US plug, so please be careful to always store it together with the plug-adapter. The manufacturer has a range of video introductions as a playlist on Youtube.

The machine requires thread in two places, one for the top-stitch and one for the bottom. Check that the bottom-stitch has enough thread on the bobbin. If not, fill it up and then continue to thread the machine. This video is for a similar model, ca. 7 minutes for top and bottom.

Once you are ready to sew here's a quick five minute run-through. His machine isn't quite the same, but the principles are. There are so many practical tutorials on Youtube on everything from seams, to patterns to beginner mistakes.
