Singer Sewing Machine
A Singer Quantum Stylist 9600 sewing machine is available for use in the Creative Lab. The sewing machine has over 600 available stitches, makes buttonholes and works well with a variety of fabrics. Users are expected to provide their own fabric. Some thread is available, but we recommend bringing your own thread; especially if you require matching colours or a specific strength.
The Creative Lab also has basic sewing accessories available for use. Users are required to purchase a sewing kit, comprising of a sewing needle and bobbin prior to their first use. Staff are available to assist in basic machine operations, threading, winding bobbins, changing feet, but are unable to provide sewing instruction.
Brother Serger
A serger is used for finishing edges and hems on fabric projects. The Creative Lab has a Brother 1034D serger that is available for use. It can be used on a wide variety of fabrics and stitch options include 4 thread overlock, 3 thread overlock, narrow hem, rolled hem and ribbon lock stitches. Users will have to bring their own fabric to use on the serger. The Creative Lab has four thread colour options available: white, black, grey and beige.
There are also basic sewing accessories available, including scissors, seam ripper, and measuring tape. Pins are not to be used on the serger. Staff can assist in threading the machine and basic overlock stitch but are unable to teach serger usage.
