My serger started acting all bizarre while Sarah was here last August. I disassembled it and figured out what was the cause, fixed it, and off I went making more and more baby items. I am sure I serged miles of lengths of diapers, wipes, and washcloths.
I use my serger at least twice a week and it is by far the most versatile tool I own. It started making a horrible hammering noise last night after I made an Infinity Dress. I noticed that my throat plate was cracked and switched out for my narrow hem plate, switched up to 2-thread serging, and moved onto hemming off a lightweight material. One side into it, the hammering got crazy noisy and that was it. Off went the power, trimmed up the best I could with the project, and now I am trying to figure out what the heck is going on. The feed dogs almost look like they are timed off-or-are jumping up to high-or-hitting/missing/catching the plate. Considering (1) how much it costs to repair, (2) how mechanical Mike & I are, (3) and how totally cheap I am, we shall fix it! I did it once and it shall be done again!
Wish us luck!

Follow along and read about our quirky adventures and diverse interests. Why anathema? The word originally meant to ascend to heaven. Then, the meaning reversed completely. The word demonstrates a living language-good and evil-love it or hate it-polar opposites. It is one of my favorite words along with ubiquitous, portmanteau, and flippity-schmoo. I love artichokes.
