Overedging
Overedging with a serger is the simplest and quickest way
to finish the raw edges of fabric.
Useful for the open seams of jackets, pants, etc., it is
often sewn on one layer of fabric.

Method
With right sides of fabric together, sew a 1.6 cm (5/8')
seam on a conventional sewing machine, reverse
stitching at the beginning and end of the seam.
Serge seam allowances separately, guiding the seam
along the left edge of the serging foot. The serger will
trim 0.3 cm (1/8 ').
Press seam open.

_2_)Seam allowance
Overedging seams before sewing a garment together
prevents unravelling and makes sewing even more
enjoyable.
No need to worry about finishing touches, everything is
done even before a garment is complete.
Just be sure that the knives only skim the edge of fabric,
without cutting off part of the seam allowance.
For an unlined jacket, finish the edges first as illustrated.
