Serger Classes

Introductory serger classes cover threading, tension adjustment, stitch types (overlock, flatlock, rolled hem), and seam finishing techniques. Some classes focus on specific projects, like garment construction with knit fabrics. Check individual class descriptions for details on what each session covers.

Basic sewing machine experience is helpful but not always required. Beginner serger classes start with fundamentals like threading and basic stitch types. If you've never used a sewing machine at all, a general sewing class is a good place to start before moving to a serger.

Most classes expect attendees to bring their own machine. If you don't have a serger yet, you can call your local store and ask if they can lend you one for class.

A sewing machine stitches fabric together using a top thread and a bottom bobbin thread. A serger uses 3+ threads to trim, encase, and sew a seam all at once. Sergers are faster for seam finishing and produce the stretchy, professional edges you see on ready-to-wear garments. Many sewists use both, especially for garments.
