Sergers - the word can be so intimidating but they can make a world of a difference! It took me years to build up the confidence to purchase a serger. To me they were something that were out of my league, so unknown and so confusing. That was until my friend let me use hers and it was an instant lightbulb moment! I had to have one! I purchased a Juki serger and have loved it. I have only changed the thread twice (the spools last forever it seems) and the settings a few times and I am still learning, too!
But I wanted to share some of the best serger tutorials I've found with you! Hope you are inspired to try something new!
