Introduction to the Serger/Overlocker
Does this picture scare the bejeebers out of you? Are you interested in the magical world of serging but just too nervous to give it a go? If your serging (or overlocking) looks like some of the first versions, would you love to make them look perfect, like that last sample in the picture, but have no idea where to start? This could be just the course you've been looking for! If you have a serger (any brand is fine) sitting in your cupboard because even threading it looks too scary, never mind adjusting tensions and getting the perfect stitch - or if you've been fancying one of the new, easy-threading sergers which are sooooo user-friendly, why not enrol in this class with Joanne? You'll learn all you need to know to get up and running so that you can work your own magic with your own machine on your projects, and have those seams finished off to perfection!
Cost: $ 25.00
