The Makery: Textile Arts

The Rose Makery has a collection of tools and supplies for sewing and knitting, including:

• (2) modern Bernina 1008 Sewing Machines
• (2) 1950's vintage Singer Sewing Machines
• Iron and Ironing Board
• Tailor's Ham
• Yarn Swift and Ball Winder
• Various Measurement and Marking Tools (rulers, chalk, fabric pens, etc.)
• Rotary Cutter and Cutting Mats
• A variety of shears, scissors, and snips.
• Thread
• Fabric
• Yarn
• Snaps, Buttons, Zippers, etc.

Everyone in the JMU community is welcome and encouraged to use our textile arts facilities; however, you must complete a brief training on how to use the machine and must sign a form stating that you'll follow a few basic safety rules before you may do so.  The easiest way to receive training is by attending one of our workshops!

The Carrier Makery also has a collection of supplies for working with textiles - similar to what Rose has - as well as a Brother "Dream Machine 2" sewing and embroidery machine.
