The library offers a sewing machine for use in a variety of simple sewing applications. The Heavy Duty 4423 Singer sewing machine has a drop-in bobbin, built-in needle threader, and 23 built-in stitches, including 6 basic, 4 stretch, 12 decorative stitches, and a 1-step buttonhole.
Patrons must bring their own scissors, thread, pins, and other notions to include special needles for heavier material, etc. The machine must be used at the library in one of the study/conference rooms.
Patrons must attend a single, staff-led training before using the equipment independently. To schedule the training, please call the library at 757-868-3060. You can request use of the machine at the front desk.
