Finishing Seams--Machine Attachment Regret
I have a Brother SE400 and bought an attachment called a side cutter. It cuts the fabric and sews the edge with an overlock stitch. It's supposed to be like a serger. It was pretty expensive and is very cumbersome to attach. It took me several tries before I could get it attached. The directions are poor. I used it this morning and one I got it attachedy it worked fine. But in attaching it the first time the needle bent. This attachment attaches to the screw for the needle, and the needle comes out when adding or removing the attachment. The bobbin ran out so I changed the bobbin and reattached the foot. I started sewing and the needle completely jammed, then broke.
How do you finish your seams when sewing, like clothes, or non-quilting projects? I'm making outfits for my grandchildren out of seersucker. That stuff revels like crazy!
