About This Class
Most quilters don't think of a serger as a quilting tool, but it can be a fast and efficient way to create beautiful patchwork. In this class, you'll learn the techniques needed to piece an entire quilt using your serger, from machine setup through block construction. The Forty Two Ten pattern provides the perfect project for exploring serger quilting while building accuracy and confidence. By the end of class, you'll understand how to use your serger for patchwork and be ready to apply these skills to future quilting projects.
Please refrain from wearing perfume on the day of class.
