You can use that for a resource as you work on different projects and want to achieve different looks and results. Different fabrics react differently tho the automatic tension is fabulous. My other machines did not have that and I really appreciate it.
Interesting. The serger instructor and the shop owner both told me to do the same thing. I haven't really done it. Oh, I've kept my practice pieces and written on them in ball point... what the settings were. I guess I should get a notebook and staple them in there... Hum i'll go dig one out tonight. Thanks for the encouragement...
I use a photo album and just slip the samples in the holder pages.
