Learning to Wait
I have not been feeling very well and that means little time doing my favorite thing, sewing! I am still waiting to hear what will become of my serger. It is still being repaired. Taking this long to get an answer does not make me think it is going to be an easy fix. I am not the most patient person when it comes to getting my projects finished. I have towels to work on. Some of the ladies at the classes and seminars I have attended rave about their serging machines. I cannot wait to rave about mine. I didn’t even get to use it before it broke down. I didn’t know much about sergers so I did a little research and found the following information.
Serger History
The roots of overlock and serger sewing machines reach back to 1881, a Connecticut knitting mill and J. Makens Merrow and his son Joseph. Merrow first patented a machine for crochet stitching. That machine and its stitch capabilities led to Merrow’s development of the overlock sewing machine.
Wow! 1881 and I just now decided I needed one.
