August is here and this month we’re excited to guide you through three essential serger and coverstitch techniques — shirring on the coverstitch, gathering with the overlocking foot, and the 4-thread rolled hem — and put them together to make a child’s dress. These lessons are designed for an 8-thread Baby Lock machine. Friendly, step-by-step instruction will help you master each technique and build confidence to construct a full garment.
What you’ll learn
How to create shirring on a coverstitch machine for comfortable, stretchy bodices and decorative details.
How to gather fabric using the overlocking foot for smooth, even gathers without hand-basting.
How to sew a 4-thread rolled hem for clean, durable hem finishes on lightweight fabrics.
How to combine these techniques to construct a child’s dress: bodice, skirt, seams, and hems.
