    I serge single layer prior to joining all washables, built into price ( never optional ).

    I serge most all other things as well, again not offered as optional, my convenience, my way. Single layers. Keeps my shop cleaner.

    I guess what led me to change my long etsablished habit of " getting by " with not overlocking is the trend in fabrics toward the more fraying type.

    If you have lots of things lying cut, you'd have no sanity without it.

    I meant to answer a for question 2.

    First I serge before washing if washing. Then I serge at the end. I am too nervous to serge until the end. Just in case I need to make any adjustments.

    Hi Tessy,

    You serge at the end, so... do you use an industrial serger? What kind?

    Inquiring minds need to know! :)

    HI Dede!

    My serger is the only industrial equipment I own. It is a Union Special 4 thread.
