A whole knit T-shirt in just a few hours? You can do it! We promise! It’s quick, easy, looks very professional, and it’s all created with your serger. “Knits and sergers go together like peanut butter and jelly,” Kathy McMakin says. “Sergers sew knits perfectly—no wavy seams!”
Kathy will be your expert guide in this online class, as you learn all about serger settings, the importance of differential feed, and more tips and tricks for serging knits. You will see just how easy it is to serge a flawless neckband, insert sleeves, and have perfectly matched seams. Kathy will show you how to add optional machine embroidery to your tee for added embellishment. The hem of the tee can be finished with a lettuce-edge hem for a frilly look, or a coverstitch hem for the more tailored version. If you don’t have a coverstitch serger, no worries! She will show you how you can create beautiful hems on knits using your sewing machine, too. With the included patterns, you can create a kid’s size XS (1-2) to XL (12) shirt. The luscious, soft-as-butter knit, in combination with its dyed-to-match ribbing, makes the perfect outfit for your child—and all the techniques can be used for older kids and adults, too. By the end of class you’ll want to make this Classic Knit T-Shirt in every color!
In addition to the step-by-step video, the downloadable patterns and instructional PDFs are also included!
