Own a serger, but forgot how to set it up and use it? Intimated by all those threads, tension dials, needles, and “looper thingies?” This is the class for you! Learn how to thread your serger for basic, three, and four thread over-lock stitch applications. Review basic machine operation to understand errors. Discover helpful tips, and develop skills to make using a serger a successful and stress-free activity. Discuss what threads can be used and which needles are most effective for the task at hand. Bring your serger, and let’s get started!
