This morning I watched a terrific Sewing with Nancy video and really loved this idea, but I'd like to try it with chiffon or satin. Problem - when I try serging curves the stitching tends to separate from the fabric. Any ideas?

I know what you mean, try going slowly and shove it in there

I'll try and will report back!

There was an article. How to Easily Hem Sheer Fabrics in Threads mag. it was not on curves though.

Just found a tutorial. Linny was right - no need for speed! http://www.makeithandmade.com/2012/0...ge-curves.html

Perhaps if you used a stabilizer on the fabric it would stop fraying.

I experienced that also. Going slow and making sure your fabric is in line as it is on the straight sewing. I actually stop every few stitches to make sure I have the fabric in the right position.
