Serger Skill Class

This monthly class will feature techniques you will accomplish on your SERGER!    This features the Serger and all the abilities that it has.    These classes teach you how to change your machine from serging to rolled hems, to cover stitch.    Specialty threads are often used in these classes to improve your skills using the different weights of thread.    This class is geared to the L890 machine but other sergers can be used.  Call ahead to make sure your serger can handle this months project.
Interested in a Serger but don't know where to start?   Stop bye and watch these ladies create.

Each month this group either starts a new project or completes one from the prior month.    

Always bring all your serger feet with you, thread, your machine, power cord, FHS, scissors, needles and general sewing supplies.

The October class had to be cancelled, so we are rolling the project you would have done in October to November.    You will be making the Beehive Pincushion.     The sample is in the store in the classroom
