LEARN TO SERGE

Follow along with Sarah Joiner of The Lilac Elk as she walks you through the basics of serging.

Sarah covers everything! From machine basics to settings everything in between, you'll be fully equipped to use your overlocker machine after this course.

Also included are three amazing walk-throughs for differing sample projects that teach varying techniques:

  1. A pillowcase on woven fabric
  2. A knotted headband on knit fabric
  3. A scarf on delicate fabric

We offer a complete fabric class kit available for purchase as well! It contains pre-cut fabrics to eliminate any guesswork during the sew-along sample projects (fabric patterns may vary from those shown in the course).

After taking this course, you'll be ready to tackle any project that comes your way, and you'll feel inspired to learn additional techniques, too.
