Do serger tutorial searches on you tube. I'm recently new to sergers too and having lots of fun taking new classes, making hierloom nightgowns, purses, table runners, jackets, etc all 100 % on the serger. My teacher says, yes alot of what we are doing can be done on the sewing machine but that's a different class. Making fleece throws this yr was so much fun. I just layered them together and did the stitching around them. No turning and then top stitching, it went so much faster and looked so nice. I'm learning to use wooly nylon on the loopers to give a nice look along with decorative threads to give nice finishes. Nancy Zieman has great books on quilting with a serger too, the nice thing about that, you never have to worry about running out of bobbin thread, since there is no bobbin. Check your area for Viking dealers or even brother dealers who offer classes; you can learn so much and I'm constantly learning new things on you tube.
