This class is from 5:30 to 7:30 pm
Were you ever jealous of all the patches that Suzy down the street had from girl scouts? Just skipping along, counting all that cash from those cookies she was always shelling out and showing off her accomplishments? Well now you can finally show her! With this class you can make your own patches! Yeah! Bet you don’t have a ‘wine tasting champion’ patch, do you, Suzy? Take that!
This class is a primer on how to use our BAI 15 string computerized embroidery machine. This sweet machine can do 10 stitches a second, up to 15 colors per program, and go from 1”x1” to 13”x17” (a full jacket back)! We will go through the steps you need to create your own patches, custom clothing, and embellishments! Our machine can also do hats!
There is a prerequisite for this class on learning Inkscape, a free computer program we use to prepare files. If you are a Fab Lab member, you will learn this program with Laser basics, vinyl cutting basics, and CNC basics. It is a great program for graphic design, as well! If you have not taken any of those classes, or are a community member who just wants to learn how to use this machine, you will need to watch these video tutorials and practice a bit before the class, or you won’t get much out of it.
