Why not use the serger to construct the garment?<br /><br />I don't have a serger, but I thought that was one of the reasons to get one: you could eliminate steps by sewing the seams and finishing the seams at the same time. These are questions from ignorance, not implied criticisms, I'd love to hear your thoughts.elizabethenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-3828069328670337842010-06-14T21:05:53.452-04:002010-06-14T21:05:53.452-04:00You're a true inspriation!
