Serger tail ends when starting to serge,can be hidden by bringing forward when you place your fabric under the presser foot.SO that is sewn on top of the tail end.I tried this yesterday and was pleased with the results.
If at first you don't suceed, try-try again!

Hello--secure ends: Beginning: 1. One stitch in to the fabric 2. Needle down 3. Lift pressure foot 4. Pul the chain off the stitch finger 5. Swing the chain to the front, putting it under the knife 6. Lower pressure foot 7. Stitch over the chain End: 1. Stitch one stitch off the fabric 2. Needle up 3. Raise pressure foot 4. Gently pull the needle thread off the stitch finger 5. Flip fabric over towards yourself( now you will be serging on the lower looper side of fabric 6. Lower pressure foot and stich over last few stitches about one inch. CAREFULLY NOT TO CUT STITCHES |
