Notions Required:
1. Your serger, power cord, foot control, all accessories and the manual. If you don't have the manual, please download and print one from the internet. It is a great resource. Be sure to bring the tool that allows you to change the needle. It is either a tiny flathead screwdriver or a tiny Allen wrench. If you don’t have it, try to replace it before class.
2. Standard sewing supplies : Rotary cutter, scissors, rotary cutter rulers (6x18, 2.5 x 12), seam ripper, Best Press or other fabric spray starch, Fraycheck (for sealing ends of threads)
3. Long tweezers (these come with every new serger, but if yours has wandered off, please be sure you bring one!) They are your best friend when threading a serger!
Additional Notions:
Flathead straight pins
Clover® Wonder Clips™ or equivalent
Double Eye needle or Blunt Tapestry needle
