Serging™

Why Use a Serger?

Have you ever wondered what a serger can do for you? It will streamline your sewing experience while creating professional-looking seams and hems, and decorative topstitching.

Sergers have come a long way since they were introduced to the home-sewing market in 1969. Today’s machines are far more versatile in their usefulness and capability, and they make the early two- or three-thread sergers seem primitive in comparison. Depending on the brand and model, your machine may accommodate five or more threads, have special attachments and even include a computerized stitch advisor.

The basic function of a serger is really quite simple: It simultaneously sews a seam while it trims the fabric edges and encases them in neat, even stitches. And thanks to a differential feed system, which is available on most modern machines, sewing with knits is a breeze. This system consists of two feed dogs working together to evenly draw in and push out the fabric, eliminating annoying stretching and puckering.

The nine projects that are included in this book are designed to teach important basics. Most can be completed using only a serger. (However, the Ribbon Weave T-Shirt, the Take-a-Bow Tree Skirt, the Fiesta Tiered Skirt and the Stipple-Chic Clutch require a sewing machine for topstitching.)

Let’s get started! As you create, you will grow to love your serger as much as I love mine.

Happy Serging!

Diana

Meet the Designer

Before discovering a serger, Diana Cedolia made clothes with a sewing machine. No matter what I tried, from zigzagging seam edges to steam pressing hems and collars, the clothes still looked homemade. Then she bought a serger, and she never looked back. Diana began making clothing that looked as if it had come from a designer boutique, and after making a new wardrobe, she made doll clothes, linens, quilts and throw pillows. When using a serger, all fabrics from slinky knits to crisp cottons take shape quickly and look great.

Diana lives in Florida with her husband, Pat. There she teaches hands-on serging classes, and when asked about what her students most want to make, she replied, They want to make anything that they can finish in one or two class sessions and, luckily, sewing with a serger makes this possible. They like to learn about construction sequence and about all of the handy techniques that I have discovered over the past several years.

With her business partner, Kothy Haferstat, Diana designs quilt patterns for longarm quilting machines, and embroidery patterns for embroidery machines. The two also produce instructional DVDs for embroidery software. Their products are available under the name Simply Everything.

Knowing Your Serger

The first step in successful serging is understanding your machine’s features and how to use them. Begin by locating and learning about the fundamentals of your machine. The following illustration is a generalized look at today’s serger parts.

Carefully read the manufacturer’s manual to familiarize yourself with each component of your serger and what its particular function is. Keep your manual nearby during project construction for easy reference.
