NEW SERGER

I have outgrown the Singer Serger that I purchased in March 0f 2010. In November I started bi-weekly payments on a Baby Lock Serger. I picked it up Friday, March 25. It is still looking for a new home in my Sewing Studio. I need a separate table for the serger. Have a great day

Serger Tips I have learned

2010-03-20 -- Always thread your machine with the new colored thread. Do not be lazy and knot the new thread to the old thread and pull it through. If you break a thread you will save time because you know how to thread your machine.
2010-03-20 -- Make the ends of the thread long enough to cut in half leaving half from the machine and half on the sewn item.
2010-04-17 -- Make sure to lower your presser foot before sewing.
2010-04-17 -- Weave the ends of the thread after sewing a seam into the stitches of the seam to make sure the stitches do not ravel.
2010-11-20 -- if you are serging a continuous edge around your project cut into the fabric the same amount as the width of the stitches. When you come to the end of your serging you will not have some stitches look uneven.
2010-11-20 -- When you are serging a project that has curved corners as you approach the curves change the tension slightly so the stitches will be looser.
2010-11-20 -- When you are serging over the previous stitches and do not want to serge off the side stop sewing and with the pressure foot down pull on the needle threads until you have about 3 to 4 inches of thread off the spools. Then lift the presser foot and pull the fabric back from the pressure foot. Now drop the pressure foot down and serge between the project and the pressure foot until you have a long enough piece of serged thread to cut and leave half on the project and half on the needle.
2013-05-22 -- Save the box you took your serger home in. If it needs to go back to the manufacturer for repairs it is the safest packaging to ship the serger in.
2013-06-29 -- Keep all of your serger tools with the machine. If one of the tools is useful in a different area of your sewing room buy another.
