Today’s quilters have fabulous sewing machines to choose from: machines with features such as needle down, a multitude of decorative and functional stitches including embroidery, and computer memory, among others. So why are those cute little black vintage sewing machines showing up at workshops and retreats? Why do some quilters and crafters use vintage and other mechanical machines exclusively? How do you find a vintage machine and what do you look for? Are they hard to care for?
Bonnie Blakely will answer these questions and take a brief look at the history of sewing machines and their impact on domestic life and the larger economy. There are some surprises! Join us via zoom on December 11 @ 7pm Eastern time.
