Well done on getting to grips with your serger, it's well worth the pain of rethreading though isn't it?! <br />I used my serger to sew nearly all of the seams on my cardigan (I didn't sew them on the machine and then just finish them on the serger). There were just a couple of parts of this pattern which called for regular machine stitching so I did that where I had toFiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-46520321578542403762014-01-14T08:35:52.100+00:002014-01-14T08:35:52.100+00:00Followed you!

It's amazing, isn't it?! I, too, had to rethread mine and there were quite a few... choice words but now I'm much more confident with it, too!! :) Did you ONLY use it on the papercut cardigan (which is adorable, btw)? I haven't ONLY used it on a garment yet, so I'm curious as to how you thought it went!! <br /><br />:) Thanks!! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843590231259889294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-90225140454472381402014-01-05T11:57:04.260+00:002014-01-05T11:57:04.260+00:00Oooh promising goals.

Your thoughts, ideas and approach are so similar to mine! Unfortunately, I won't achieve many of my ideal goals in 2014, as I'm pregnant, but I should get some practise with my new over locker, and knits, over the next few months. I think jersey will make good comfy Mat wear!<br /><br />Anyway, I look forward to reading about your challenges and makes, as you progress! Have a very Happy New Year!
