Easy Serger Projects

Season 13 Episode 1307 | 26m 46s

The overlock machine, also known as a serger, was released into the sewing market in 1889 and had a great impact on the world of sewing. A serger is a machine that trims seams and encloses the seam allowances or edges of fabric. Peggy and her guest demonstrate serger methods and how to apply them to a variety of garments and useful items such as shopping bags, utility bags, and table runners.
