TXL103: CNC Embroiderer SBU
Take the newly enhanced CNC Embroiderer Safety and Basic Use (SBU) class to learn how to use our Janome embroider machine!
In this class, you'll get to take part in several demos and become familiar with hooping methods, needles, threading, several types of stabilizers and more. You'll see how to create digitized stitches based on monogramming and logo art as well as clip art style designs. You will also make a fun small project.
Successful completion of this SBU is required for operation of TechShop embroidery equipment.
If you're new to digitizing (creating machine embroidery stitches from 2D artwork), we highly recommend that you take the CNC Embroiderer Digitizer Pro Software lecture after taking this class.

TXL105: Industrial Serger Sewing Machine SBU
Learn how to sew like a pro. The overlock stitch made by a serger sewing machine sews over the edge of one or two pieces of cloth for edging, hemming or seaming. The machine also cuts off the unused edge of the fabric and results in a professional looking seam.
In this Safety and Basic Use (SBU) class, you will get hands-on experience with our four-thread industrial serger sewing machine to create robust seams and fine rolled hems.
You will make a small project in this class.
Once you take and successfully pass this class, you can use this equipment for your projects whenever you work at TechShop as a member!

TXL107: CNC Long Arm Quilting Machine SBU
In this information packed, hands-on Safety and Basic Use (SBU) class, you will learn the ins and outs of working with TechShop's CNC long arm quilting machine.
You will learn how to wind bobbins, thread the machine, change needles and use the hopping foot. You will learn to use the two modes of stitching: movement and stitch. We will discuss sources for materials and machine accessories and you will receive tips for professional results.
Upon successful completion of this class, you will have the experience and knowledge necessary to operate this machine independently.
This course now includes instruction on the CNC attachment. Your quilting can be traditional, with you controlling the pattern, or you may let the CNC attachment take over and automatically stitch a pattern you created on the computer.
Once you take and successfully pass this class, you can use this equipment for your projects whenever you work at TechShop as a member!

The industrial sewing machine is a great tool for your textile projects ranging from fine and delicate to industrial strength.
TechShop's single stitch industrial sewing machine, the Juki DDL 8700 (the Singer Industrial in Raleigh-Durham), is the textile industry standard for consistent, accurate and speedy stitching. This machine is designed to accommodate fabrics of all kinds and weights. The bobbin can be wound continuously as sewing occurs and the presser foot can be operated with a knee lever.
In this Safety and Basic Use (SBU) class, you will learn how to operate the machine safely, get to know the multitasking industrial machine foot pedal and practice methods of controlling the speed and accuracy of your stitching.
The project for this class is an accessory bag.

TXL204: Digitizer CNC Embroiderer Software
Pop your knowledge of the digitizing process and quickly start having fun printing your own art in thread.
Join us for this lecture class where we'll have fun covering many aspects of this feature-rich, digitizing software package by Janome. This software supports a variety of embroidery machines, including the Janome and the Brother.
If you're new to digitizing (creating machine embroidery stitches from 2D artwork), this is a great place to start. We'll discuss aspects of digitizing to be aware of when printing with thread;
teach you how to work with existing art as well as digitize your own objects, including shapes and text; introduce you to features you can use to control the sew-out of your designs and more.
This two-hour class is all about the software and is likely to save you weeks of exploring on your own. It does not include any time with the CNC Embroidery Machine; it is software only.
Recommendation: For hands-on demos of actual embroidering, including how to hoop and the handling of stabilizer, take the CNC Embroiderer SBU. There's a slight advantage to taking the SBU before this class, but it's not required.
