Saturday May 12th:
Juki Sew and Serge!
Join us for the Juki Sew and Serge Day. Want to find out how a sewing machine can complement a serger and how a serger can complement sewing? This class will combine techniques you maybe haven’t thought of before. Join Juki and find out what fun creating side by side on a Juki air thread serger and a DX-2000 sewing machine can be. We will create a fabric collage by piecing, top stitching, a little applique, some free-motion and bring out the designer in you. Add some perfect piping and then button it all up. Use this fabric to create a new apron and use up the leftovers for a pillow for your favorite chair.
Class Fee: $10 class fee includes use of a serger, kit and lunch!
Come play with us! Class space will be limited!
