Serge a Quick Bias Cut skirt

Create a  quick and easy bias cut skirt for Spring using your 4 thread overlock for your seams. Adjust the differential feed according to the bias to prevent any rippling or stretching out. Try out a sample piece of your fabric first with your serger. 



  •  Simply serge the upper edge of your skirt, turn down to wrong side for desirable waistband according to your elastic width and sew on your band into position using a sewing machine. Insert elastic.
  • Create a mock band and insert elastic. There will be more information to follow for this application.
  • Use the elastic foot to create an elastic application and turn edge down and top-stitch into place. 
  • Just 3 ways of creating a quick and easy waistband


Using a rolled hem or narrow hem feature as seen above, and decorative thread 
to your upper and /or lower looper, this will add a bit of sheen to the hem.
