She bought a simplicity surger three years ago and never used it much. Now I get to learn how to use it. My 12 year old daughter taught me how to thread it!  Sure wish that genius gene had not skipped a generation (me).Wish me luck! Carolyn

That's OK cclebl, My spell checker doesn't even think it is a word when spelled correctly. Both ways are correct if you sound it out so we knew what you meant. When I first bought my serger I only used it to finish seams, then to make diapers. I used it that way for years. Now with the help of ladies here on the site I am learning how to use it more creatively. I have ventured into rolled hems, and using it to gather (still working on this one I haven't quite perfected it yet). Sergers are a lot of fun. I use mine more than my regular machine now. Have fun and play around until you get a feel for it. Gina

Lucky you!! I got my first ( and only) serger when my mom passed away. I only use it for finishing seams. It is a three thread machine and a B* to thread. I have my s/o do that for me...lol Someday I hope to upgrade and then maybe I will learn something else to use it for....haha Don't be so open minded your brains fall out.
