Serger Basics - Rolled Edge Hems

Hi Everyone! In Part 2 of Serger Basics, Donna is joining us again as we take a look at sewing rolled edge hems. This hem style can be used to replace a traditional single or double turned hem.

Serger Basics - Topic Overview, Getting Started, and Threading The Machine

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the topic - Serger Basics! For this topic, I'm excited to announce that Donna Kinley the designer of the DKinley Designs brand, will be my co-host!

I'm so excited that she is here, there's so much to learn.
