Serger Technique Club

If you love your serger for making garment and other projects easier and neater but want to know how to use its potential for decorative stitching, join us for new techniques each month to do just that! Whether your machine is new or much loved, we can have fun and learn together by making different projects using the full range of stitches sergers provide. 

We will begin with a simple scarf, then move to bags, storage items, and pillow covers. Further projects will be influenced by student interest. 

May 26th - Hanging Wall Organizer - piping and inserting zippers with your serger, the C16L(L890), L16L(L850-860), or 5mm Cording Foot(Baby Lock) will be needed for these techniques
June 23rd - Cover/Chain Stitch Plaid Tote* - decorative chain/cover stitches
July 28th - Piped Bolster Pillow - Piping and gathering/shirring on the serger, the C16L(L890), L16L(L850-860), or 5mm Cording Foot(Baby Lock) and a gathering foot will be needed for these techniques
August 25th - Crazy-Quilted Tote - flatlock quilting
September 22nd - Double-Slice Table Runner - quarter-inch quilt piecing

You will need to bring your serger or combo/coverstitch machine in good working order (serviced in the last year or so), the stitch card, and manual if it is not a current Baby Lock, Bernina, or Bernette. Don't forget the power cord and foot pedal. Be sure you know how to thread the loopers. For some projects/techniques specialty feet can be helpful, those will be listed in the email you will receive approximately a week before Club.

Some projects require a pattern purchase, we will have those available when you register for Club. Fabric will be available for you to purchase.  Participants will receive a 10% discount on patterns and supplies for each project.
