This is the ideal workshop for current serger owners who have tucked them away in a closet, terrified to thread them or to bring them out and use them. It is also a good opportunity for those thinking of upgrading their current serger or purchasing a new serger but are unsure of how they operate, what they are capable of doing and if they would be a good addition to their sewing tool box. All brands are welcome
