Beyond Beginner Serging
Tips and Techniques to Take Your Serging to the Next Level
Think serging is just for finishing seam allowances? Think again! In this class, national expert Susan Huxley will teach you a grand array of treatments that you can make on even the most basic serger. Bring your machine so that you can work alongside Susan as she teaches you how to use a 3-thread overlock stitch and an all-purpose presser foot to gather, flatlock, blind hem, blanket stitch; plus make serger lace and custom trim. Susan will also give tips on a variety of serger subjects throughout the class and she is bringing along garments from her wardrobe for you to examine, so prepare to be inspired!
