I've had my serger for 3 yrs now and I'm still learning new things.<BR/><BR/>Being self-taught means that you don't conformed to standard rules because you don't know what they are. I have found that it keeps me true to my own methods.....whatever floats my boat. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again and Happy New Year.Phyllis T. of Knitgirlll06https://www.blogger.com/profile/01380746901228122623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448594.post-66405535671288059192007-12-26T01:32:00.000-05:002007-12-26T01:32:00.000-05:00You are going to LOVE your new serger.

Once a sewer gets one, they find it hard to believe how they ever lived without one IMO. <BR/><BR/>pirouette, I use whatever thread colors I like and mix and match as long as they are basically in the same color range (like white and grey, grey and black, etc). Using slightly different shades can help a newbie serger user determine which looper needs a tension adjustment (if the machine has tension dials). Also, it depends on what needs to be done with decorative serging (thinking rolled hems and flatlocking) as well.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04420458445442482137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448594.post-87636929244398035682007-12-19T23:36:00.000-05:002007-12-19T23:36:00.000-05:00Yay for you!

The woman who sold it to me didn't know how to move the blade. While it isn't perfect, (I can only use one needle and three cones of thread)I have wondered why I didn't buy one before. Right now, I don't see the need to purchase a newer model and frankly I don't have the room for it. Congratulations on creativity and this wonderful blog.<BR/><BR/>Angela (in Laurel)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448594.post-8127753327729076532007-12-19T11:31:00.000-05:002007-12-19T11:31:00.000-05:00Great post!
