What I Did Today

posted in sewing |

I purchased my new serger machine last Friday and had no clue how to use it! It came pre-threaded and I checked everything according to the manual and turned it on. I placed a piece of fabric under the presser foot and pushed down on the foot pedal and it fed the fabric through, but no stitching took place.

Thank goodness I was signed up to take my owner class today! Turns out one of the 4 threads wasn’t in one hole correctly and that was it. Once that was fixed everything worked great!

So, today I learned how to thread the machine, it sews with either 3 or 4 spools of thread. I learned to make stitch and tension adjustments and I learned that by doing those adjustments, I can create different looks with the stitching. Now, hopefully, I’ll be able to remember what I learned and put it to use on some of my current projects, including my fleece baby blankets.
