The Sewing Mom

I’m thrilled, I got a call from the sewing store and my serger is back from repairs.  It’s been less than 3 weeks and I was told it could take 6, so I’m happy.  The repairman made some adjustments to the upper and lower looper swingarms (whatever the heck that means) and it supposedly works.  I can pick it up!

I think I’ll go up there tomorrow.  I’ll test it out before bringing it home to make sure it works.  Once I bring it home I can finish the pile of fleece blankets that have been waiting so patiently for me to work on.

I bought a new serger on April 4.   I attended the free class a few days later and learned quite a bit.  This is my first time to use a serger, much less own one.  I feel I can use the serger a lot to create more finished edges in the bags I’m making.

Today, I took the serger back to the store.  I spent the weekend trying to get it to work and I didn’t succeed.  I thought maybe it was something simple, but the lady at the store couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working either.  So, the serger is being sent in for repair.  What a pain in the butt!

I am disappointed, I had planned on finishing of some interior seams and some fleece blankets.  Oh well, I’ll just have to do it on my sewing machine, it’s just not as fast as a serger.
