I am discovering the overlock machine and sewing my first sweatshirt

Do you want to discover how to use the serger and sew knit fabrics? Maybe you already bought one but don’t dare to use it alone?

Then the course “I discover the serger and sew my first project” is made for you!

Together we will learn:

• What are the main features of a serger
• How to thread it?
• Precautions to take when using it
• The differences between knit fabrics
• And above all, we will sew your first sweatshirt together!

The prerequisites for this course are to have already sewn a garment with a sewing machine.
It is not necessary to have already used a serger for this course; we start with the basics so that you develop the right reflexes and methods from the start on this machine.

We will make a sweatshirt together that you will take home at the end of the second course.

The group is composed of a maximum of 6 students.

The course includes:

• 1 X 3h of technical explanations, tests, and pattern preparation
• 1 X 3h of sewing the project (basic sweatshirt - women’s, men’s, or children’s model of your choice)
• Use of 3 Juki sergers and one Brother
• Provision of basic materials: scissors, pins, black or white serger thread…
• Smiles, kindness, and respect for everyone

Price: €99

Not included: knit fabric, ribbing, and serger thread cones coordinated with your jersey.
