I use some beads int he video that are probably too small to be effective- but it was a last-minute production! Tangents
It’s best to use a heavier bead, or even a charm. In the video, I cut the selvage edge quite a bit to get rid of the loom prick marks.Īfter you’re finished sewing, thread beads on to the serger tails to finish the scarf and to weight it down. don’t let the presser foot push the hemmed edge away. Finish these in any order, but when you do your second hem, leave 6 inch-long tails along the edges- don’t clip them! Make sure to cut off enough fabric, so that you enclose the previous hem. Now you have a raw-edge hem and the selvage edge hem. (It’s best to watch the video for this part Hemming So, now you are serging on two layers of fabric, creating the shoulder seam of the scarf.
Fold the scarf in half so that you lay the hemmed edge not op of itself and the remaining raw edges on top of each other. You need to give your machine the right amount of fabric to cut, roll and stitch in the rolled edge.Īfter you get to your second pin, pause, leave the fabric under the presser foot. Place your long cut edge underneath the serger presser foot so that you serge between your pins- so you’re starting in the middle of the fabric.Īlways have your blade on while doing a 3 thread rolled edge. It’s durable, yet lightweight and it comes in a ton of colors. We use polyester machine embroidery thread in our serger for this project. I test a 2mm, 1mm, and a 4mm in the video- and I ultimately decide the 2 mm is the best look for my scarf. There’s no real right or wrong way, and every fabric will react differently- so test on some scraps. If the stitch is too short, the serger thread can build up and create a very stiff edge. If your stitch is too long, you can get “pokeys” where the threads of the fabric poke out of the hem. When you figure out your rolled edge on a Baby Lock, the only thing you should have to change is the stitch length, and this is up to you! You want to get the right amount of coverage and flexibility. The rolled edge is durable enough for a seam on this project, because there’s not a lot of stress on the seam.īaby Lock sergers make gorgeous stitches with little need to modify settings or tensions. If you use a different type of fabric, you may want to modify, but you can still use the basic construction outline here. This scarf is constructed completely with the 3-thread rolled edge. This is your neckline, it’s a total of 30″ around- which will go around almost anyone’s head. Don’t pint he layers together, mark them separately. With two pins or clips, mark 15″ from the halfway point on both cut edges of your fabric. The selvage edges should lay on top of one another, and the cut edges should lay on top of one another. You can theoretically piece together two 1 yard pieces, but the scarf will not lay as nicely.įold the Fabric in half, short edges together. Cutting and MarkingĬut the 2 yards in half lengthwise, so that you have a piece of fabric that is 72″x 1/2 the width of the fabric.
