In Full Bloom Serger Creative Technique Class- In Store Attendance

Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
I wonder where the flowers is

They are right here created with your serger.  Use a three thread decorative stitch, wave stitch (Babylock owners with this feature), and serger crochet to make these fabric flowers bloom.  The stems can be drawn in or, if your serger can do a chain stitch, make the stems from a chain stitch.  Plus this is a great way to use up scraps.

The supply list is below.  Please note the class preparation steps.
