Serger is a sewing machine that cuts the edges of the cloth as they are fed through ([link]) and it can be expensive.
I don’t have a serger machine (overlock to be exact) but that doesn’t mean I should just give up!
I use this stitch all the time and it didn’t give me any trouble so far :heart:
First: Hold on to your fabric that you wish to fed along so it doesn’t shred again
Second: Set the follow sewing machine options
- 1. Zig-Zag stitch (upper middle picture), I recommend a large one (of 5 leves of zig zag stich I have being 1 the smallest and 5 the largest one, I selected between 3-4)
- 2. Tighter the stitch (upper right picture), select between 0-1 but not too close to 0 otherwise you’ll take a lot of time and thread unnecessarily.
- 3. No picture ._. While placing your fabric on the sewing machinemake sure the edge of the fabric is between the zig-zag so that when the needle goes from left to right, the thread holds the shredded fabric concluding our work!
Done!

Hope I helped! :love:
