Quite a few years ago when I was in 2nd grade Santa brought me a White serger for 4-H sewing. It finally died and my mom and I bought a new Bernina serger over the summer for $700. I love it. I used it most of Sunday to make a curtain for my sewing room and a curtain to hang in my kitchen as a room divider to my back hallway. It works so great for projects like that. I also have a pair of yoga pants that have shrunk and I need to wack off and turn into crop yoga pants.
As I think about this I just finished cutting squares of ogdensburg to embroider and it is fraying like mad. I might do a quick serge around there edges.
