Serger Rules1. Use Caution When serging anything. The serger will cut almost any fabric that gets in

the way of the blades.

2. Check the serger to make sure it is threaded properly before serging.

3. Stitch the fabric all the way thru until there is a long chain of thread that follows the fabric.

4. ALWAYS remove pins before serging.
