What You’ll Need
You must be a JTPL library cardholder in good standing to use any makerspace equipment.
You need to bring your own fabric, thread, bobbins, and notions for any projects. The library has some self healing cutting mats, rotary cutters, and miscellaneous tools for use.
Cost
Use of the Sewing station is free! However, the library has bobbins available to purchase for $0.10 each if you would like to have a pre-wound bobbin with black or white thread.
