Serger Club

Class Fee: Free if you purchased your Husqvarna Viking or Janome Serger from Sew a Stitch.

Date: Fourth Tuesday each month
Time: 2:30-4:30pm
Instructor: Alecia Gentry

Open to owners that purchased either a Viking or Janome Serger from Sew a Stitch.

If you've been intimidated by your serger, it's time to conquer!

Sergers can; save you valuable time, perform many functions and, produce great looks with various decorative threads, ribbons, and laces, etc. Sergers are not just for finishing seams!. There are so many exciting options, funtions, and stitches, etc. to keep this club going for years (especially Coverlock owners) without repeating a lesson or a project!

Husqvarna Viking and Janome Serger owners will learn new and interesting ways to be creative with their serger. Those who attend will discover useful tips, inspiration, and education to make professional looking and professionally finished items that are fast, fun, and easy. Serger Club projects will feature a specific stitch funtion or combination of functions. Many of the projects will include using decorative threads, adding ribbons, lace, etc. Click on a link below to get more details on specific projects.

Lessons descriptions, photo, and supply list will be posted here each month.

Next Club Date:
Due to the staff preparing for upcoming events and our customers who are enjoying the summer months with family and friends, we are postponing Serger Club for the summer. We look forward to having some fun new projects and techniques for you to learn this fall (2010).

Due to lack of attendance for the evening time slot - Serger club will resume this fall - Fourth Tuesdays during the daytime hours of 2:30pm - 4:30pm. If we get enough requests from those that cannot attend weekday classes we will plan an alternate time slot.

UpComing Club Projects...

To Be Announced


There is a lot of preparation that goes into creating fun, unique, and educational classes and make the learning process as easy as possible for everyone.

We as teachers donate our own time to share our learning experiences and knowledge with you because we love it.

For us to continue providing and sharing fun new learning experiences, there will be no "Make-Up" sessions for previous projects.

If there is a lesson you are interested in, please make an attempt to attend that session or plan a "get together" with another club member who has attended that session.

Thank you for your understanding.
