If there is a glitch, usually someone in the group has experienced it and we all work through it!

Once you see what a serger can do, you'll be amazed!


April
Our first workshop will be constructing dinner napkins (rolled hem) and quilted placemats (serger applied binding with fusible thread technique)
May
Our May project, Bummies and Burps, will focus on using various techniques to sew on Knits. The Bummies are a 30 min. make using a serger! The Burp Pads use the leftover fabric to create a perfect Baby Shower gift set. You will re-fresh your skills of attaching binding with a serger and choosing the correct overlock stitches for each construction.
June
In our June project we will be experimenting with decorative serger yarn made on your overlocker! The sunglass case is embellished with the yarn in a couching technique. The jewelry travel pouch uses the same decorative yarn for the ties. The rolled hem using 12w threads and/or metallics creates beautiful ribbon ties, holiday shoelaces, plus endless crafting possibilities!
