Have you recently bought a serger and aren’t sure where to start? Or perhaps you’ve owned one for a while, and it’s sitting in the box because you don’t remember how to use it? In either case, this course, produced in conjunction with National Sewing Circle, is what you need to be serging like a pro in no time.

Making Friends with Your Serger is a boot camp to get you feeling comfortable with your serger in the shortest time possible. National Sewing Circle instructor ZJ Humbach focuses on the basics rather than overwhelming you with every possible thing a serger can do.

ZJ breaks the course into manageable lectures that let you learn your serger inside out. There’s no need to rush. Take your time and master each lecture before moving onto the next or come back and review individual segments as needed. She will provide an in-depth look at maintenance and troubleshooting that will give you confidence to perform basic maintenance on your serger. You will learn about what types of needles to use and when as well as the importance of the thread you use. Discover how easy it is to add professional finishes to your projects using the hemming stitches on your serger.

By the end of the course, you’ll feel comfortable with your serger and confident in your newfound skills to make the bonus project that’s included. Also included is a step-by-step guide to serge a placement and napkin set along with a shopping guide detailing everything needed for the project.
