I used my serger yesterday! I sewed a pencil skirt and a matching pullover to go with it. I accidentally made a crop top when I trimmed the fabric at the wrong spot. I think it’s an improvement but I don’t like the way the hem flares out so I’m going to try to invent a new style. If it works out, I’ll post it. No sewing today. Yesterday’s sewing wrecked my back and I need to recover.
I love the smell of an overlocker.
Today's sewing time was 90% threading and re-threading my serger while thinking "This isn't that complicated".
If you need to eat for concentration, do it before you (hypothetically) slap some clothes together.
I added an overlocker/serger to the sewing machine collection. It's a Brother 925D. 4 threads, differential feed, made in Taiwan, solid metal frame. Just a little lint, no signs of ever being serviced or regularly oiled, barely used I'd guess. I took off most of the plastic covers, blew out the lint, oiled everything that moves, and serged something. Now I can make crooked stitches and the edge to match too!

A niche question about #sewing #lycra.
One pair of my running tights have a tear that was repaired by my wife. My eyes are not the best, but the stitching has a small knitted tail at the end: I think it was serged. Now I have some fresh rips that need fixing.
The #serger is a Juki Baby-Lock, and I've worked with it enough to use it in 4-, 3-, or 2-thread mode ... but does anyone have tips on serging lycra? It's a first for me.
(The machine is my wife's legacy, she passed away two years ago.)
After some serger malfunctions I'm finally making more progress.
