2023 0310 SERGER INTRO and 101 - Beginner Zippered Pouch Project ~ Instructor: Sheliah Mathais



The class will begin with an introduction to your Serger including learning to thread your machine.  After learning the basics of threading and changing needles we will make a zippered pouch using only your Serger.   We will use decorative threads, insert a zipper, piece and line a pouch and make a decorative flower for the front of the pouch!  Teacher will contact students approximately a week prior for pre-class instructions.
