Here is a list of some of the serger classes and workshops that I teach for retailers, guilds, and other groups. I provide project instructions for all classes.

Attention retailers: to schedule a class or workshop, please write or e-mail me. For those of you away from the Houston area who might want to take classes or workshops from me, print this page and give it to your local retailer. Ask them to contact me to set up a class in your area.

I teach several classes in the Houston area with the local retailers and organizations listed below. You can contact those locations to find out when and what I am teaching. I do not teach all classes at every location.

BASIC SERGER WORKSHOP: (5 hour workshop)

Have you ever felt "sergically impaired"? Don't feel alone. This class will help you find out what to do about it. In this class you will learn about threading, tension adjustment, corners, curves, garment construction, troubleshooting, and other basic techniques. A workbook by Diane Bossom and fabric kit for samples included.

INTERMEDIATE SERGER WORKSHOP: (5 hour workshop)

Get more out of your serger than just finishing seams and sewing up garments. Gathering, elastic application, rolled hemming, ruffles, and flatlocking are just some of the techniques covered. This class is for those who have completed basic serger or who are very familiar with their serger. A workbook by Diane Bossom and fabric kit for samples included.

SergeArt© WORKSHOP: (5 hour workshop)

Burst out of your clothes! Serger Stitches don't just belong on the inside of your garments. Learn many of the serger techniques included in the book SergeArt - Wearable Art for the Creative Serger, by Diane Bossom, released by Krause Publications in May 1999. You can achieve many decorative effects using a serger. Learn the answers to What, When, Where, Why, & How to use decorative threads and stitches on your serger. A workbook by Diane Bossom and fabric kit for samples included.

SergeArt© Las Vegas Jacket: (6 hour workshop)

Start with the tuxedo jacket pattern in Jacket Jazz Encore, by Judy Murrah and make your own "SergeArt©" embellishments. This jacket appears in the Pfaff Club Magazine, issue #17. It features flatlocking, serger braid, and weaving. Click on the class title and you can see pictures of the jacket.
