If you’ve already started using your serger and are ready to move beyond the basics, this class is for you. Take time to broaden your horizons and learn about the advantages of using accessories available for your serger. In this class I will focus on two workhorse accessories that will make your life easier: the blind hem foot and the gathering foot.

Your instructor, ZJ Humbach, breaks the class into manageable sessions that let you learn these accessories inside and out. There’s no need to rush. Take your time and master each session before moving onto the next or come back and review individual sessions as needed. At the end of this class, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without these time saving additions for your serger.
