My husband gave me a serger for Christmas a couple of years ago and I was so excited. For my birthday a short time after Christmas, my daughters bought me a gift card for classes at a local quilting store. There were four of us in class and the other three had some experience with their sergers and I was green as a gourd! The teacher was ill the first class and the two ladies helping teach the threading were so nice and helpful so I did learn to thread it. The teacher was back for the remainder of the classes and moved so quickly from one project to another that I felt so frustrated. Guess she was afraid of boring those who had some experience!
