<p>Hiya mary! One of the things I am excited about is making the sewing area into a more cohesive space and hopefully a more cohesive/accessible group of people as well. I've talked to a lot of people who are intimidated by the industrial machines. If you want some help getting going on them someone can usually show you on a Wednesday at SCoW, or if you see me around grab me and I will give you a quickie lesson! Other Rachel and/or Crutcher would be happy to show you, too. <3 the intimidatingly fast industrial with automatic backstitch, it <3s you.</p>
<p>R.<br>
