Intro to the Babylock Embroidery Machine (Members Only)

This class will cover the basics of using the Babylock Endurance (BND9) embroidery machine at Tampa Hackerspace. This six-needle embroidery machine sews at 1000 stitches per minute, will easily accept your own designs from a USB drive, and has built-in fonts and designs. We will be covering start-up procedures, maintenance, hooping, stabilizers, and design choices. Bring along a T-shirt or polo shirt, and we will each monogram or add the Tampa Hackerspace logo!

This class is for paying members of Tampa Hackerspace. Information on becoming a paying member can be found on our website (http://tampahackerspace.com/membership).

Limit 4 students.

Melodie is an award-winning costumer, a milliner, and an occasional cosplay judge. She regularly speaks at conventions about inexpensive costuming and body positivity in cosplay; well, she did before Covid. She sews whatever strikes her fancy and loves to share the joy of creating things.

Please don't forget this evening that we have several restrictions in place related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you are sick, change your RSVP and stay home.

1. Masks are required and must be properly worn.

2. We are providing face shields that may be worn along with the masks and safety goggles.

3. You may be temperature screened when you arrive.

4. Maintain social distancing during the class.

5. If the instructor is not comfortable with your participation, you could be asked to leave without completing this class. This is done for the safety of everyone in the class.

6. You must badge in even if the door is open. We need to have a record of everyone's presence in case there is a future or unexpected problem (e.g. contact tracing is required).
