Serger Basics
Fear the serger no more! Let’s get comfortable using your serger while making a simple pair of leggings or t-shirt (you must have your own serger to take this class). This class will focus on understanding how to operate your serger and adjust it to sew a seam with correct tension, how to do a twin needle hem or other hem for knits, and working with knits in general. You should already know how to thread your serger to take this class (or plan to setup a private lesson before to get comfortable with threading – even if it is a slow process for you!). Please make sure your serger (if it is old) has been serviced and is functioning for class so that you are not frustrated by a serger that needs a tune up! Depending on the complexity of your pattern and your comfort and speed with sewing you may need to finish up at home, but the main goal will be to overcome your fears of the serger and understand more of what it can do for you!
