About

Presto 2 machines are easy to use and have many functions. This class guides you through basic machine use including:

  • Opening and setting up the cabinet.
  • Winding the bobbin and threading.
  • Using the control panel to select stitches and set other functions.
  • Selecting and replacing presser feet to match your stitch selection.
  • Changing the needle.
  • Finding more information about the machine in the reference guide and on the Internet.

We’ll end the class with a checklist for putting your machine away so it’s ready for the next person.

This orientation to the Baby Lock Presto 2 machines also serves as a prerequisite for Fiber Studio workshops, sew-alongs, and other events where you'd like to use these machines and for working on your own projects any time you’re in the studio. It's also a prerequisite for orientations to other sewing machines in the studio.

Marcia Adams-Landry
Sewing

Marcia's mother, a 4-H leader, taught her and many of Marcia's friends how to sew. When Marcia sits down to sew, whatever the project might be, she's reminded of all her mother taught her and it gives her great pleasure to pass along some basic sewing skills in BARN's Fiber Arts Studio. In fact, Marcia says fiber is in her DNA and has played many roles and taken many forms in her life over the years.
