Sewing Supplies
The Makerspace has a variety of scraps available for use. If you have a specific project, you will need to provide your own fabric to assure that you have enough of what you need to complete your project.
A supply of black and white thread is available in the Makerspace. Any other thread color will need to be provided by the user.
The Makerspace maintains a supply of Singer Universal sewing machine needles in sizes appropriate for sewing lightweight fabrics (i.e. cottons) to heavier fabrics (i.e. lighter weight denim, canvas). If you are sewing a very delicate fabric (i.e. chiffon, lace) or a very heavy fabric (i.e. heavy denim, upholstery fabric), you will need to provide your own, appropriately sized needles.
