Embroidered Tote Bags

Using the Bernette 70 Embroidery Machine and accompanying software in the library's Innovation Lab, adults will explore embroidery by machine as they create an image which will then be embroidered onto a tote bag. 

Attendees will learn how to thread the machine and install the bobbin. They'll then have time to explore the machine's digital interface (used to create designs) and a combination of embroidery software and Canva. Tote bags, thread, laptops, and tools will be provided. After the program ends, library staff will embroider the designs onto the tote bags. Attendees will pick up their completed projects at a later date. 

Registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168, or by visiting the Help Desk on the library's second floor to register in person.
