Serger? How to Buy One

Let's talk serger. I could not sew without one. At the Sewin'Asylum we have two Juki brand sergers, the 654DE and the 644D. They are used daily by students of all ages, especially children.

When purchasing a serger, I recommend trying one out first. Don't buy one based on price. You want a serger to be able to sew through thick fabrics as well as thin. Sometimes the cheaper sergers sold at discount stores don't have the speed or the power to handle some of the most basic projects. You'll want your serger to do more than just finish seams.

I'm currently working on a project book for the serger. It will focus entirely on the serger and the projects will be practical, yet fun to make. In upcoming posts I'll feature some of the projects that are going to be in the book and I welcome your feedback!

For today, Happy Stitchin'!
