You can also use tissue paper (facial tissue or regular tissue) beneath thin knit fabric. It tears out easily afterward and gives the feed dogs some traction.

I'm so glad you did this for all those without sergers. Too many preach you have to have one. I'm sure they are fun but it's nice to have some one say a sewing machine will work

Yes! You can get an amazing garment using only the sewing machine!! I do love my serger for how quick it is though ❤️

What size did you choose? I know you said at end of video you will size up so trying to decide which to cut. Love the top on you.

This was great, thank you! I haven’t had the time to learn the serger that was gifted to me so this alternative is super helpful! Your video was easy to follow and I appreciate you going over everything in such detail. Now I just need to learn how to measure myself and cutting the pattern pieces. :-)

Dianna, I notice that you didn't back tack (reverse) your needle when starting and stopping. Won't that cause the thread to unravel later on? Also, when you suggested using a ballpoint/stretch needle or universal needle, there are different sizes. What size needle would you recommend? How would I know what size to use for my project?
@eloiseezra51946 ай бұрын
I don't back stitch when I know that the seam will be run over again. does that make sense? the side seams will be run over by the hem. The neckline will go on the round so it will get run over by it again. so that will keep it in place.

I used to sew knits on sewing machine before i had serger, it's totally possible. I have a question about serger tho. Is there a way to make it less laud? It's shaking the table and waking up my kids when I'm trying to use it at night lately 😂

I'm not sure how to make it quieter but you could try ome of those mats for underneath the washer and dryer that prevents shaking, I believe.

I agree with the response above. Using a foam mat may be able to help with he noise a little bit.
