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.
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 5mm piping foot, rolled hems, decorative thread attachments, and perfect corners! The perfect beginner serger apron. Serger apron includes pocket with zipper detail, towel loop, nice long ties and tons of tricks! Final dimensions: 25in wide x16in tall. Students will need to have the pattern and all materials cut and ready to sew before class begins.
June 27th - Wonky Log Cabin Runner - Use your serger stitches to quickly piece three wonky Log Cabin blocks, inserting flanged accents. If you have chain and coverstitch capabilities, create your border fabric with thread embellishment! This elegant 43-1/2in x 12-1/2in home dec design is part of Amanda Murphy’s new “Serge-Ahead” pattern line, written for quilters who are interested in exploring serger techniques. Students will need to have the pattern and all materials cut and ready to sew before class begins.
July 25th - Something Festive - Only 5 months til Christmas!
August 22nd - TBD
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 best with a cover or chain stitch, Amberly will try to 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.
