Hi everyone,
I just purchased my first serger (having tamed my sewing machine), and I'm having problems with the basics already. Threading, believe it or not, isn't the problem...
When I run material, like calico or basic cotton, through the serger, it gathers the material and I have to pull the ends/sides of the material to 'straighten' the seam. Also, there is at least a 1mm gap between the thread and the end of the material...
I've tried playing around with the tension discs, re-threaded the machine twice, changed the stitch length and differential feed - all to no avail. It still puckers up the calico as I feed it through.
My fear is that if this is what it does to basic calico...I'm scared to put anything more delicate (or expensive) through it until I work it out.
Any and all help gladly appreciated!
