Intimidated by using your home serger machine? Overwhelmed by threading it with multiple threads? This is the class for you! 
In this intro class students will bring in their sergers and learn how to thread them, how to get started finishing seams, and how to sew with different fabrics including knit fabrics.
This is not a project based workshop however, students leave with the basic knowledge of how to use their Serger machines at home confidently.
