Intro to the Serger

Description

Two Fridays 10/9 and 10/16 from 11am-1pm

Skill Level: Confident Beginner.
This is an Adult Class for ages 16+
Instructor: Julia

A serger (or overlocker) is a fantastic machine that does so many things… but they can be quite intimidating the first time you sit down to thread it! In this two part class Julia will guide you through understanding the parts of a serger, how to thread it successfully and how to balance the tension, and then in the second class we will make a glasses case entirely on the serger.

Students are encouraged to bring their serger from home but if you are serger-curious and don’t own one already you may participate using our classroom machines. Please indicate in the note section at checkout if you will be borrowing a machine! This is also a great class to take to learn more about the fantastic Baby Lock serger lineup.

Materials to Bring with you to class:

• A serger in good working order along with it’s manual and power cord/pedals (or indicate at checkout that you are borrowing one of ours)
• A spool of thread in each of the following colors: red, blue, green and yellow. (or, 4 spools of thread in 4 different colors.
• 1/2 yard of muslin or other light colored cotton fabric, for practice, cut into 6”x6” squares
• A notebook, if you enjoy taking notes.
• For the glasses case project in the second class:

  • 7” square of batting or fusible fleece
