• By unbalancing your tensions, you can create some very interesting
effects. We call this decorative serging or serger embellishing .
• Adding decorative threads to your serging creates many beautiful
opportunities for creative serging .
Hint: Once a serger stitch is formed, it is a circle of thread
. When we tighten
one thread, it pulls on another thread . When we lighten tension on
one thread, it allows itself and another to relax or move within the
circle . Thinking of the stitches in this way will help you to create the
look that you want with your choice of threads.
Learning : Set your serger for a balanced wide three-thread stitch as shown
earlier in this book. Loosen your needle tension to #2 . Serge on a
scrap for about 2 inches. Begin to serge again but try applying a light
pinch pressure to one looper thread (just above the tension) and then
the other. Observe the changes that occurred on the serged scrap.
Next, set the tensions back to a balanced stitch . Loosen one of the
looper tensions and pinch the threads in turn again while serging .
Observe the changes to the stitch formation .
