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.
