Craft Shop

What is it?

The "arts & crafts" area could easily be split into a bunch of different areas and it definitely provides the most variety of mediums and associated skills.  But in general, crafts are things that tend to be decorative, but not at a cost of usefulness.  For example sewing can be used to create things that are strictly to be admired (ornaments, quilts) but can also be used to create incredibly useful things (clothes, bags.)

What types of crafts can be created?

This list is actually endless, but lets mention the big areas we provide support and equipment for.

  • Pottery

  • Stained glass

  • Sewing

  • Vinyl Cutting

  • Heat transfer

Serger

Baby Lock

Sergers use multiple needles and threads to bind raw edges of fabric. They may also trim the edge at the same time. This prevents unraveling and is faster than stitches with the same purpose on a single needle machine.
