Using the Bernette 70 Embroidery Machine in the library's Innovation Lab, teens will explore embroidery by machine as they create an image which will then be embroidered onto a tote bag. The session will include a short demonstration of how to thread the machine and install the bobbin and a brief overview of the machine's design software. 

Tote bags, thread, laptops, and tools will be provided. After the program ends, Library staff will embroider the designs onto the bags and the teens will pick up their completed projects at a later date. 

During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168 or by visiting the Help Desk at the Library and registering in person.
