Serger Miracle
 

I hadn't used my serger in over 5 years. While at Hobby Lobby the other day I found a piece of fabric that I thought would make a nice holiday pillowcase just for me. I really wanted to serge those seams so came home and got the serger out. It took me an hour to find the manual but thank goodness the loopers were still threaded. Got everything ready to go and it was perfect - like I had just been using it all along. So here is MY holiday pillowcase. The fabric just made me happy.

Love your prints--I need to get out my serger too, been a while

nicely done!

Too funny. I just got mine out the other day and was using it. Great minds think alike.

Really, really nice.

LOL...I just did a kitty, holiday pillow on my serger yesterday ; 0

I found ths blog on using a serger that some may find useful http://www.makeithandmade.com/2012/0...s-wrap-up.html

I would feel happy laying my head on that fabric, too.

I've been in a 'pillowcase' mood for the past year or so. Made or making all the little ones in the family pillowcases for Halloween and Christmas. Have 6 pinned and ready to serge right now. And there are several babies who will need pillowcases in a few years - so it's ongoing. I've even made myself a few pillowcases - most recently one to match a throw I made myself.

Beautiful!!!!

I have some of the same fabric for my DGD's Christmas quilt. I took the panel that matches it and made a quilt for me and DH's bed!
I LOVE my serger but we have had our moments.

That's a really pretty pillowcase! I just dragged out my serger, too... must be something in the air. :) Probably called "quick gifts for Christmas"!

nicely done, my serger froze up. gotta get her looked at.

Thanks so much for the nice comments. I feel like I got a new machine, lol. I realized I had not used my serger in 7 years. I think it took longer to cut the fabric than serge it all together. I see more holiday pillowcases this week. :-)

I just figured out my serger...Love it...change the thread today and made a pillow to give to my sister inlaw for when she travels. [ATTACH=CONFIG]448840[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]448841[/ATTACH]

tHANKS for sharing that site, I have a serger my niece gave me and I've never used it ! Maybe with the help of this site I can figure it out. Happy Thanksgiving to all !

there are some good free utube videos also crafty has a good site on the serger.

I saw that fabric, and you found the perfect project for it! Enjoy! :-)

Has anyone ever put batting in the cuff and quilted it??? -pillow cases

I just made 4 pairs of pillowcases for my great-nieces for Christmas.
