About This Class
Many sewists own a serger but have never explored the creative possibilities of the flatlock stitch. This class focuses on one of the most useful and distinctive techniques your serger can perform, using it to piece and construct an entire Nine Patch table runner. As you sew, you'll gain a better understanding of machine setup, tension adjustments, and how flatlock seams can be both functional and decorative. By the end of class, you'll have a finished table runner and the confidence to incorporate flatlocking into future quilting, home décor, and garment projects.
Please refrain from wearing perfume on the day of class.
