sewing garment seams with a serger
Hi everyone,
I just acquired a serger... and I'm not sure how to get the correct seam allowence (5/8") when sewing garments. What I've been doing for the current project is to sew the actual 5/8" seam on my regular sewing machine and then finish the seam with the serger. Is that what everyone else does?? (this seems "overkill" to me, that's why you have the serger, so you don't HAVE to sew a seam twice...) I've sewed some scraps on my serger trying to figure out exactly where the seam is going to be but it seems as though I have to just eye-ball the 5/8"... Any ideas or tips? Thanks! --Ann |
