SERGING CURVES
To
serge
around
inside
or
outside curves, handle
fabric
as
you
would
in
conventional
sewing,
but
guide
the fabric into the knife, not the
needle. Remember,
cutt¡ng
takes place before stitching.
Also,
since
the
longer
serger
presser
foot
holds
the fabric
more
securely,
you
may
need
to
raise and
lower the
foot
several
times
to work
around
a
very
t¡ght
curve.
