1. SERGING
Different approaches for different methods... PLEASE!!!
2. Mary Ann Quinn's Method
Since she's coming (from NH), she might be persuaded to teach her method, which is an interesting variation on patterning using Cushion-Eze. Or maybe not, since she's never actally taught it (she developed it and uses it exclusively - her work is very nice). Is there interest out there?

Interest... of course..
We need folks to submit proposals so the committe can vote.
All are great ideas...
Please submit to

So who would be a serger Queen?????
Who knows all about serging???
Angie has it figured out, though you'd need a person who can feret out which methods a question might pertaon to...
I don't know if I'll go to Boston yet, but yes, serging would be a great topic. I try to serge all my layers at once, and sometimes that's tricky. I run into 2 problems: 1) When seams meet each other and 2) when the thicknesses are too much for my home serger.

Exactly! Different methods, different approaches (and different types of sergers: domestics and industrials; number of threads and configurations).
Who has experience with several different methods plus has used different kinds of sergers? For example, Karen's method with serging as part of construction with domestic machine; double-on-half with unpinning and serging with ??? machine; serging entire slip with industrial machine (with specially modified foot?).
Re: Mary Ann Quinn's Method
Is there any interest in this? Should I bother trying to annoy... er, encourage her to submit a proposal to teach?
I encourage new blood, I am thirsty for it. ( the knowlege silly ).
As for serging, I think unless you have the machine to DO it, there's no trick I can teach. YOu either have a machine to accpet the full sandwich, or you don't. I don't try, yet overlockling is not a headache one layer at a time. I would love to meet Mary Ann, of course.

Teach me, O Master...
overlocking is method related, so I'd have to see your cutting to know what to say. Post a picture of what you cover looks like just at the point where the next step you want to take is overlocking. If it's already sewn, ( this is a chicken and egg question ) there's a very good chance your serger won't take it that way. So, you have to pick a point in your own process, where overlocking single layers can be done without extra work.
Yes, but wouldn't this make a great class? For example: "This is the point at which X method is serged, with X-type machine, and here's how to do it." Repeat with different methods.
Just an idea. I don't know if you're even looking for class suggestions.

Summit the idea to the committee and if they would want this we can find someone to teach it.
