Creativity means originality, expressiveness and imagination.

Sergers give us decorative possibilities that open a whole new world

of creativity for the home sewer.., a creativity that looks sophis-

ticated, not cutesy!

A serger trims, then totally

encases, an edge of fabric- unlike

the zigzag on a conventional

sewing machine. Also, since the

stitches are formed over a metal

stitch finger, the edge will never

draw up, even on lightweight

silkies. Because sergers have

"loopers" that go over and under

the fabric, heavy decorative

threads, yarns, and ribbons can

be used. These cannot be used

on conventional machines

because they will neither fit

through the needle nor

penetrate many fabrics.
