Average Review:
superior class...anyone with a serger should take this!!!
Everything about this class is excellent. The presenter, the presentation, the wealth of information. I have been using a serger for 25 years. I recently purchased a cover stitch machine as well. This class taught me a lot of new techniques and refreshed me on many I have not used in some time. Angela thank you so much for a job very well done!!!
Great Class
I wondered if I would benefit from this class as I have been using my serger for some time. I have learned so much and think that Angela has been just a great teacher. I loved the fact that tips on the cover stitch machine was included. I would recommend this class to everyone - Marilyn
Needed this class!

Now I'm wondering if I should purchase a coverstitch machine to add to my collection of sewing machines!
Thank you, this is a GREAT CLASS
Thank you Angela, this class was just the one I needed to use all my surger's possibilities.
