serger 201: two-hour tablecloth

Description

Skill Level: Confident Beginner

Class Dates:

• June Session: Sunday, June 14 – 12pm-4pm
• August Session: Sunday, August 23 – 12pm-4pm

Skip the store-bought tablecloth and whip one up yourself using a serger! With just a few yards of fabric and our trusty Janome MyLock 545D overlock machine, you will create a beautiful, patchwork tablecloth with completely finished seams that won’t fray and is machine washable.

During this 4-hour class, students will learn how to convert the machine to a rolled hem stitch to easily and quickly finish the raw edges of the tablecloth. 

The finished tablecloth measures approximately 73″ x 73″ and fits round tables up to 60″ in diameter or small square/rectangular tables.  This class is open to all level of students who have prior sewing experience.  Prior serger experience is not required, but highly helpful!
