I have been keeping my samples (not just serging but other things too like welt pockets and zipper pockets) and now I have a large bag of them, not sure what I'll do with them, ha ha. Making a binder of them sounds like a great idea.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074339341919661384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-25721722390478920182014-08-31T10:15:45.767-04:002014-08-31T10:15:45.767-04:00Heh, Trumbelina, those tanks have been in my brain...Heh, Trumbelina, those tanks have been in my brain for ages too.

It's a combo of things that leads to good serging, methinks.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074339341919661384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-64661229611990666532014-08-31T09:34:56.786-04:002014-08-31T09:34:56.786-04:00Very cute, just like the last one!

Why can't I get my act together and make the workout tanks I've had planned in my head since January??<br />Whenever my serger decides to chew, I've discovered (after replacing the blade once already), that it's because it get's pushed out of alignment. I just have to go in and make sure it's lined up flush and it cuts like buttah. I know a fraction of what you do about serging (like nothing in comparison), but maybe this would be a simple solution??Trumbelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145834807214647985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-55134837184814324082014-08-31T09:18:21.111-04:002014-08-31T09:18:21.111-04:00Even though my serger is a Bernina, there are obvi...Even though my serger is a Bernina, there are obviously translation problems (from the Chinese?) in the manual.<br />I took the serger classes that came with my machine where we compiled samples. Then I found a serger 'notebook' from an older class at a garage sale. This is where I store my samples. And where I reference settings. You still need to serge on a waste piece prior to serging as different fabric behave differently. The references provide a starting point in which to make small tweaks.<br />Take a serger class - it's worth it.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468763091074811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-59438642769620889752014-08-31T00:41:03.430-04:002014-08-31T00:41:03.430-04:00I agree that you must look pretty snazzy in your w...I agree that you must look pretty snazzy in your workout gear!

Just about the blades, I have had my overlocker more than 25 years and never changed a blade so I wouldn't think you'd need to but I have noticed some fabrics (very few) just don't cut well. I had one the other day and thought I'd have to change the blades but cut something else and it was fine.
