Hi Julia:
I just took a serger class last night.  Traded in my previous serger on an 
elna 5 thread serger, and took my beginning class.  Discovered two new things 
in the class.  1)  The looper has a piece you push down to make it easier to 
thread, and 2) if you adjust your differential feed to a 2 and your stitch 
length to as little as possible, (I think this is the way), that you can 
gather on the serger, and it looks really neat.
Next Wednesday I take the intermediate class, and learn how to make a t-shirt 
on the serger.  Should be interesting.  That and rolled hems are the agenda.
I got a chance to make a top for the neighbor's great granddaughter.  She and 
her mother are staying there until they get back on their feet from a move 
from Utah.  She is about 3 and is a size 3.  I had a baseball type pattern I 
bought when our greatgrandson was born a couple of years ago and wanted to 
make it up for him, but he never gets brought over to see us.  So I traced 
he
size 3 off, and made her a top.  She looks really cute in it.  I put lace and 
ribbon down the front on either side of the buttonholes.  I like it. and it 
was fun doing.
