You mean it is possible to do something with the arm machine besides curse it? I find it a pain to do anything other than finish seams and I sew them first!
oh my goodness yes, so far I've made a purse for my DGD, an heirloom nightgown, table runners and used the serger to do decorative top stitching, 2 jackets, several fleece NFL blankets, its so much easier to serge two layers of fleece together than sewing and turning and topstitching, a little girls dress, a wreath, baby blankets, there are some really good books that have easy projects to get you started. I'm at work now so I don't know the names but there are lots of them plus online videos. I love my serger and it is always threaded and ready to go. Now that my twin DGS are on their way home after 3 weeks in special care I'm planning on having more time to use it and get back into classes.
