Hi everyone,

I just acquired a serger... and I'm not sure how to get the correct seam
allowence (5/8") when sewing garments.
...


Any ideas or tips?


On most sergers that I've seen there is a seam guide on the front of
the machine. It's not on the top of the arm (where it would be hidden
by the knife guard), but down on the front, so you can see it while
you're sewing.

You could make your own, if yours doesn't have one. Measure out 5/8"
from the left needle and make a mark. That's your 5/8" allowance.
