Examples of Work Using a Serger Sewing Machine

Video Transcript

On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Neal Jones with A Perfect Fit Alterations and we’re at 102 Main Street, Burleson, Texas and our phone is 817-447-3522. As we continue to explore the adventures of our serger we have covered the setup of a 3 thread and 4 thread and of course we would then go through the cards to find anything else we wanted if we wanted to go with a 2 thread, 2 thread is not used very often these machines are usually with 3 and 4 thread. This is an example of 3 thread serging and the 3 thread serging is primarily to make sure that the sides of the fabric do not fray and it is not suitable for the construction of a garment. Now if we turn it over and you pull on it you’ll see that the threads are visible from the inside, this particular thread is not suitable for constructing a garment it does a great job at keeping the ends of the fabrics in good shape and stopping it from fraying but it does not do a good job at constructing the garment. Now here is an example of 4 thread sewing you’ll see that there’s an extra row stitching here and then we turn it over this way you’ll see that as we demonstrate the garment is fixed together and there is no problem with it pulling apart as there would be on the 3 thread. There are various examples here this is a knit fabric where the serging is used as a decorative embellishment in order to hold the side of the fabric together and in this particular case we have a garment that is constructed with serging right here and then is used on the edge to stop it from fraying when we have a hem that’s turned up there. So this is an example of the way the serger is used to commercially and you can regenerate this kind of sewing that comes from a new garment onto this particular machine.
