TXL105: Industrial Serger Sewing Machine SBU

Learn how to sew like a pro. The overlock stitch made by a serger sewing machine sews over the edge of one or two pieces of cloth for edging, hemming or seaming. The machine also cuts off the unused edge of the fabric and results in a professional looking seam.

In this Safety and Basic Use (SBU) class, you will get hands-on experience with our four-thread industrial serger sewing machine to create robust seams and fine rolled hems.

You will make a small project in this class.

Once you take and successfully pass this class, you can use this equipment for your projects whenever you work at TechShop as a member!
