Seaming Sheers
Returning to Standard Serging
Lettuce Edge
Use the 3-thread rolled hem setting when sewing sheer fabrics that otherwise would require
French seams. Set the stitch length at 2.5. Then simply sew the seams, aligning the fabric edges
with the serger seam guide, trimming away the excess seam allowance.
Clear the stitch fingers and return the stitch length dial to the standard range. Set stitch width and
length at the desired settings. Replace the left needle and its corresponding thread, if desired.
A frilly or "lettuce" edge can be created on most
light and medium weight stretch fabrics and on bias
edges of soft, woven fabrics. It makes a pretty de-
corative edging for activewear, lingerie, accessories
and children's wear.
Set the machine for the 3-thread rolled edge. (refer
to page 25)
Set differential feed at 0.6. (fig. B) Serge the fab-
ric in the direction of greatest stretch - the cross-
grain on knits, bias grain on wovens. For a "leafier"
effect, try using a shorter stitch length and gently
stretch the fabric (fig. A) as it is being sewn. Sew a
test sample. (fig. C)
Belt Loops and Button Loops
Use the rolled edge thread chain, stitched without
fabric, to make professional belt loops and button lo-
ops. Using a heavy decorative thread in the upper
looper forms a stronger loop.
