working on the CBLD
Aug. 25th, 2013 09:29 pmI pulled out the crazy bird lady dress intending to finish it for my Birthday this september. Remember this one? that I started over a year ago?
Well I remember why I stopped on it. I was planning to finish all these ruffles by doing rolled hems on my serger. and they cruise along looking great and then suddenly it'll just start shredding off the edge. The roll of thread just pulls straight off the edge. I cannot figure out why it does it every yard or so. And then I have to go over it and THAT pulls off and eventually it just looks lumpy and horrible from all my starts and stops. I've adjusted tension, feed differential, stitch length, width of the cutter, and I just can't figure out what's causing it!
Any ideas?
Does anyone used a roll hem foot for the sewing machine? is that relatively easy? because if I cannot figure out doing nice hems there's no way I'm hand hemming all those ruffles. I'm nuts but I'm not Katherine C-G nuts.
