They're So Cute When They're Little

For Christmas I bought myself a serger. Two days before Christmas, Handcock Fabric had it marked down from $329.99 to $179.99 with a 60 day return policy and a coupon for $20 off my next purchase of $25.

Isn't it CUTE!!! Note the purple knobs. LOL


I watched some Youtube videos so I had a general idea how to thread a serger and how to use it.

Here is my first practice seam. I adjusted the tensions as I went along and by the time I got to the end, it looked pretty good.


My sewing lessons start Jan. 19th. These lessons are just with my regular sewing machine but I'm hoping the teacher can also help me learn to use my serger.

I'm very excited. So many times I've wanted to make a serged seam instead of zigzagging both edges and then seaming.
