Tues Tutorial~ Serger Shirt Memory Pillow

 I was asked to make more Shirt Memory Pillows.  However, these were not shirts but rather tshirts, sweat shirts and sweaters.  I used the serger to make these. In this tutorial there are some serger tips.

Tuesday Tutorial

******************

Work laid out. Not all could be used because of location of stones and very loose weave, or too short.

A slotted ruler that measured 16 inches

 on each outer edge was used.

 

 Back

Front

Lay back piece right side

to front piece.

Tip 1: to sew knits

set Differential Feed

to about 1.50.

Tip 2: To turn a corner

when you come to the corner

Raise both needles by

 turning knob on right of machine

toward you (never back)

(see picture 3 pictures above)

Needles up allow you to pull the threads just a bit

to allow them to be loosened.

Lift the pressure foot.

Pull slightly on the fabric

and turn.

The slight loosening of threads

allows you to turn the piece under the foot.

After you put the pressure foot down,

continue to sew.

Turn inside out through the opening

made by overlapping the back.
