Set Your Holiday Table With Your Serger

Use your serger to create a showstopper table runner for the center of your holiday table.  Add matching napkins and a “crocheted” tree skirt for a table centerpiece.  And do it all on your serger!  You will learn piecing, rolled hem, decorative edging with specialty threads.  If you have a serger that is capable of doing a wave stitch, you will also learn how to use this unique serger stitch.
Bring a bag lunch.  This will remind me to take a break.

See the Supply List and Preparation steps below:  In order to finish the projects, fabrics must be cut out and labelled according to the information below.  I will send out cutting and preparation directions when you sign up.
