In the first class we wil cover the basic stitches using two, three, and four threads. In the second class we will learn the cover and chain stitches. If you do not have a serger with the cover stitch you will only need to take the first class. If you have the 009DCC you need to take only the second class. The class is free if the machine was purchased from
