Hi. I'm just beginning to learn to sew, and got a serger and sewing machine for Christmas. Is this class appropriate for me? I've been doing some very basic sewing lessons with my machine--reading a pattern, laying out the pattern, and cutting fabric. Will begin constructing my garment at my next lesson. Haven't even threaded my serger, yet, though. How much experience do I need for this class?

You'll do just fine in this class. We'll be looking at basic sewing and finishing techniques specific to sergers, which will help you in your future projects.

Hi Shannon,

I would like to know how many classes is in Serger Fundamentals. Do you have any class outlines? I am taking other classes around the same time and wouldn't want to overload myself. Thanks!

As of right now, there are 10 lessons. I will probably add a couple more as I finish them:)
There is no project for this class, merely some simple exercises to help make your serger make sense:)

I own a Baby lock Evolve, I am a sewer of many years, everything from tailoring to home dec to quilting yet, the one stumbling block for me has always been the use of my serger. I find it intimidating and lack confidence despite the store instructions and video that come with the machine, I can't seem to wrap my head around it's use. I have never taken online classes before and wonder if you think I'll get some relief from my "block"
