Serger Table Topper
Description:
This is a technique class where you will learn how to use decorative threads in your serger to embellish your Quilt Blocks table runner. We will use a variety of stitches: flat lock, over lock, rolled edge, and cover stitch, with decorative threads, sometimes multiple threads at once! No worries if you don’t have a cover stitch machine, you will be able to complete most of your project using your over lock stitches. Come in and learn what a thread cradle is and what it’s used for. Get that serger out and learn what you can do with it.
