Looking forward to meeting all of you avid and soon-to-be avid serger fans over the weekend of June 26th and 27th in Baltimore. Blondell Howard, owner of The Sassy Sewer, has invited me to teach Serger-y 101 Saturday and the Cover Hem Workshop Sunday.
Event location: Crowne Plaza Hotel/2004 Greenspring Avenue/Hunt Valley,MD 21093
Saturday, 6/26/10 – 9:30am – 4:30pm – Serger-y 101
Sunday, 6/27/10 – 9:30am – 4:30pm – Cover hem Workshop
Serger-y-101 is an in-depth, comprehensive serger class that’s perfect for the novice or anyone who wants to get to know their serger better. We’ll cover a wide variety of stitches and fabrics as well as learn what all of the wonderful features of a serger can do to help you get professional results in this technique class. Tension headaches and the mystery of differential feed will be all cleared up in no time. Your serger will be your new best friend!
The Cover Hem Workshop will be loaded with tips and tricks for using this versatile, flexible stitch. Knits are comfortable, beautiful, wonderful for travel, exercise and business, and the cover hem stitch will give your garments a high-end, ready-to-wear finish. But let’s not stop there! Insert a zipper, highlight seams, and add it to your embellishment tool kit. You’ll be amazed at how a beautiful decorative thread in the looper can turn a utility stitch into a lovely design detail. I’ll even show you how to use a bias binder attachment to give your tees the finishing touch!
There will be a trunk show with inspiration galore. Can’t wait to get started – see you there!
