Finally…..after weeks of staring at the box and then more weeks of staring at the machine, I finally overcame my fears and learned how to use my new serger machine!

 

The Serger Saga

 

Earlier this year, I purchased a serger/Overlock Machine. I brought it home, unpacked it and stared at it for weeks, completely intimated and scared. When I finally got up the courage, I signed up for a private lesson to learn how to use the machine.  It did not go well, as it turned out the machine was not working properly. Bummer. I had my husband call the company to find out what I should do. Lucky me, the company refunded us the money and I was able to buy a new machine. THis time I consulted my niece, who sews a lot more than I do and she suggested I purchse the “W6 454D” Machine. (The first machine was not easy to work or understand)

And then it arrived, this big box from Amazon. I am pretty sure the box sat there in the kitchen unopened for about a week. I could tell you  it was due to the fact that I was working a lot and did not have time, but that would be somewhat of a fib! I really was concerned, that I would not get the thing to work. (Oh heck..scared was more like it!)

 

 

Finally I did carry the box upstairs and unpacked the serger….looked so pretty sitting on my sewing table. For weeks, my husband would ask me if I had tried the machine out. I always had enough exuses as to why I had not turned on the machine. That ended yesterday…

 

 

So happy! The headband is my first offical project that I made with my serger. Did you notice the material? Can you guess what I do for my day job? That´s right, I make ice cream! Some say the best they have ever tasted!!!!! I picked green material because that is the main color of the ice cream parlor.
