Basics & Beyond–Sergers...The Sewing Tool for the 21st Centu

Almost all clothing commercially sold today is made with a serger. Sergers are multi-dimensional tools that take sewing to a new level. They make projects (clothes, crafts, and home decorations) look professionally constructed and finished. This class will get you up and running. Learn about threading, tension adjustments, inside and outside corners, curves, basic garment construction, troubleshooting, and different types of serger stitches. Gathering, ruffles, elastic application, rolled hemming, and flatlocking are just some of the techniques covered. The only prerequisite for this class is that you be able to take your machine out of its box. You'll make samples of the techniques on your own serger. NOTE: Bring your serger, accessories, and scissors to all classes. Diane Bossom is a designer and author, who has been teaching serger and sewing classes since 1986. She wrote SergArt–Wearable Art for the Creative Serger published by Krause Publications, 1999.
