Also in webshops. You can also use Prym saum-vlies for the hems.I followed the Craftsy lessons by the Tilton sisters. I liked it and have already sewn a few T-shirts. I do not have a serger but sew two parallel seams with 5 mm between the seams, also for the hems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-37068018870401707352014-03-01T08:10:07.323+01:002014-03-01T08:10:07.323+01:00I trim the seam allowances first, and then just sm...I trim the seam allowances first, and then just smidge a bit away with the serger blade. Sergers are not accurate at all, but they do nicely work with knits. I think you have done a great job - the twin needle looks great. I think the finished top is a great garment - you seem to already have quite a knack :)Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-75514887990468318862014-02-28T16:08:36.684+01:002014-02-28T16:08:36.684+01:00You have done a very nice work on the neckline.

I agree. What I am looking forward to though is playing around with the differential feed dogs. But first some more practice runs!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144010556887549717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-45347123740767722192014-02-26T05:56:20.933+01:002014-02-26T05:56:20.933+01:00You are doing a great job on your serger.

It just shows you can learn something new every day. I also have trouble knowing just exactly where the stitching line falls when serging, often ending up with a seam a little wider than intended. So you are not the only one. :-) KathyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865710256627225570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-19968903884968209322014-02-26T02:55:02.797+01:002014-02-26T02:55:02.797+01:00Looks great!
