2nd sewing class finished ; 1st one was getting to know each other & the machines and what we will do/learn this year,..

The group exists of 2 levels; basic and advanced. I have talked with the teacher and she says I can select myself -depending on the topic- to which group I belong that day.Today I joined the basic group and we learned to sew different types of seams; English seam, flat seam,...Next week we will learn to use bias properly, I used an overlock machine (never did that before), which is quite nice to have.. only that it is its only function and so maybe a pitty 'cos it is rather expensive.
For sure it is a pitty I'm not following Spanish classes anymore, but hey you can't do everything, isn't it. At this moment I do feel I have made a good choice.
...
@ a cutie sister: I have taken the pig pincushion you made for me with me to class :-)

Enjoy your class! And, a serger does more than just one stitch...they can be very versatile if you know how to set them up for the different stitches they can do!

I agree with Kim, that sergers can do quite a bit if you know how to adjust the differential.

Saw somewhere a while ago that you can put a zip in using a Serger. Haven't tried it myself but a Serger certainly pays for it'self over it's life time.
Enjoy your lessons someone always has a new way to do things that we never thought of.

Good luck Linda and I know you will learn lots of things. I've got my pig pincushion sitting on my sewing table from whoever gave it to me too. It's very cute! I'm learning Italian and love going to class, so I hope you can get back to your Spanish. Love Chris

Good for you. Even in the basics there is something to be still learned. Sounds like a whole lot of fun. .

Enjoy your classes! And keep an eye out for a serger as even though they only sew, they are very useful. The more I use mine, the more I find use it for. They are truly wonderful machines. Hugs. Nan W

Thanks all for the tip that a serger can do so much more. Will keep my eyes and ears open during classes ! ...
And collect via this way lots of arguments why at the end I also should have one at home .. lol
