Decorative Serging
4
• The blind hem is basic to knit sewing . This hem is lightweight, offers
stretch and is nearly invisible.
•
Use your blind hem foot . You will need to practice on a scrap of your
fabric to get the guide adjusted correctly.
• This
adjustment will change according to the weight or thickness of
your fabric.
For
more information , please see your machine manual .

• By unbalancing your tensions, you can create some very interesting
effects. We call this decorative serging or serger embellishing .
•
Adding decorative threads to your serging creates many beautiful
opportunities for creative serging.
Hint: Once a serger stitch
is formed, it is a circle of thread . When we tighten
one thread, it pulls on another thread . When we lighten tension on
one thread, it allows itself and another to relax or move within the
circle. Thinking of the stitches in this way will help you to create the
look that you want with your choice of threads .
Learning: Set
your serger for a balanced wide three - thread stitch as shown
earlier in this book. Loosen your needle tension to #2. Serge on a
scrap
for about 2 inches. Begin to serge again but try applying a light
pinch pressure to one looper thread (just above the tension) and then
the other . Observe the changes that occurred on the serged scrap.
Next, set
the tensions back to a balanced stitch. Loosen one of the
looper tensions and pinch the threads in turn again while serging.
Observe
the changes to the stitch formation .
