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 learn a variety of techniques that are largely influenced by student interest. If there is a technique or item you'd like to learn, let Amberly know!
Projects will not be completed in class, but the techniques will be demonstrated and practiced so you understand how to recreate it at home.
April 25th - Serged Forest Table Runner - Let’s go through the different techniques from Amanda Murphy’s pattern! A machine that has a chain/coverstitch is needed for the embellishment of the trees, but a regular serger is perfect for the construction.
May 23rd - Cookin’ In Color Apron - We will go through all the techniques to make this cute and practical apron, including: zipper insertion using a piping foot, rolled hems, decorative thread attachments, and perfect corners!
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 above and in the email you will receive before Club.
Some techniques have a pattern to purchase, we will have those available when you register for Club. Fabrics are also available for purchase. Participants will receive a 10% discount on patterns and supplies for each session.
While some techniques work better with a cover or chain stitch, Amberly will have tips on how to use other stitches to create the look if you do not have a machine that will do these stitches
Class fees will be refunded with a store credit if cancelled at least 7 days prior to the class date. On day of class, no refund will be given.
