In the Studio

You're always welcome to bring your own machine, but the studio is equipped with six Brother CS6000i sewing machines (plus an older PC-420 as a back-up) for individual lessons or group classes.

​

The CS6000i is a great machine for many projects, but sometimes you need something a little more heavy duty, especially for making vinyl bags or top-stitching jeans. In that case, I use the Brother PQ1500S, which is an all-metal straight stitch machine.

Bloom Sewing is not a fabric shop, so my inventory is limited. But if you need a lining fabric or forgot to prewash what you bought at the store, I do have multiple shelves of prewashed fabric available for purchase.

Brother 1034D Overlocker (a.k.a. a serger) to finish woven seams or sew knit fabrics.

Pressing is the key to making your sewn items look professional. The Bloom Sewing studio includes a EuroPro X Steam Iron

Sometimes the iron isn't the most efficient way to add interfacing. For large areas, use the heat press!

Snaps, grommets, rivets: this makes them all easier to install!

The Janome Coverpro 1000CPX coverstitch machine creates perfect hems on knit garments.

You no longer need to deal with tissue paper patterns--you can now project patterns immediately onto your fabric with Bloom Sewing studio's Magcubic projector! If new technology isn't your thing, I also have a printer for pdf patterns. Either way, you can cut your fabric with my multiple sets of scissors or rotary cutters.
