previous strip.
Note: The more strips you use the thicker and fuller the scarf will be.
2. Thread the serger with thread that coordinates with you fabric.
3. Set your serger up for a rolled hem with a lettuce edge using the
following settings:
• Right needle
• Stitch length 1.5R
• Stitch width 3.5
• Differential feed 0 .6
Note: If you are using serger other than the Imagine follow instructions in your
manual to set up for a rolled hem with a lettuce edge.
4. Starting at the end of a strip, sew down the entire length
of the fabric. When sewing, pull the fabric as it is being feed
into the machine. The more you pull the more dramatic the
lettuce edging will be. When you start sewing down the
second side of the strip, form the ends into points. To do this
simply start at the opposite edge and slowly sew over until
you come to the opposite side.
Note: Sometimes it may be hard to tell which side of the knit is the
right side of the fabric. When in doubt stretch the fabric at the edge,
the fabric will curl towards the right side.
5. Sew all the strips of fabric you are using, changing the
tread to match, or accent your fabric as desired.
6. After all the strips have been sewn, find the center of each
and mark with a pin, or chalk.
7. Lay the widest strip down, and layer the rest of the strips
on top of it, going in order of size from widest to the most narrow
matching the center points.
8. Pin the strips together down the center of the entire
length.
