How to Sew with a Serger

The best way to sew T-shirts or cardigans is using a serger.  It is a little different from our sewing machines.  However,  it gives better "stretch" than a sewing machine does.



Here are some basic uses when you sew a T-shirt or cardigan:

Sewing seams together.

It is quite simple.  Just run through it like using a sewing machine, but first you have to turn the stitch to the lowest setting.

Sewing necklines

I will demonstrate two kinds of neckline.  Here is the first kind.  You will need to cut bias tapes for binding necklines.

Here is the second kind of neckline binding.

I also use sewing machine to finish the neckline.

Blind hem 

Sewing blind hem might take some practice, especially when hemming the sleeves.  Hemming the bottom of a T-shirt is easier, you will have more room to move the material around.

These are the basics I use to sew T-shirts and Cardigan.

Happy sewing!
