Method
Serge edge of fabric (one layer) while lightly pulling the
ends of the threads to the back.
This edging is effective for soft knits.
Experiment with various threads, yarns and ribbons to
create a decorative effect.
For lettuce leaf edging, stretch the fabric in front of the
needle while serging or use the differential feed (set the
ratio between 0.7 and 1.0).
