I love this top. And a great idea to remove the horizontal seam. That's the neat thing about PR ... being given "permission" to change patterns.

Happily, you are already well-known by me!<br /><br />Bel: I should start taking orders because I, apparently, have a psychological problem that prevents me from stopping sewing. Like ever. How will I have space for everything. In truth, I'd happily make you one of these but I'm not quite confident enough. Of course, if I just gifted it to you, you couldn't complain about the workmanship. Let's talk. :-)<br /><br />Susan: I don't think I've actually discussed that and it might be the subject of a post. In short, sergers can't do everything that sewing machines can do (or vice versa). One does need a machine - because a lot of the work of a machine is fine (or detail oriented). The serger, while much faster, is blunter. It removes fabric as it cuts (though that cutting feature can be disabled). On the plus side it creates a very secure and finished seam (albeit, a finished look some hard core sewists do not like).<br /><br />Sergers are particularly excellent for knits - which are my fave fabrics - because of the type of finishing and seam work they do. Many knit patterns can be done entirely on a serger, because they don't have button holes or darts etc.<br /><br />My particular serger is the bestest because it is of such high quality. It controls tension automatically - I can put an inch of fabric easily through it followed, with no adjustments, by some chiffon. That's very unusual. Also, it has a differential feed feature (for gathering) and it threads like a dream.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-72903092524286209382010-11-16T12:27:15.781-05:002010-11-16T12:27:15.781-05:00You probably explained this in an earlier post but...You probably explained this in an earlier post but I am curious why you like the serger more than a regular sewing machine?Susan Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900811284963063686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-40218469880218255172010-11-16T11:58:00.811-05:002010-11-16T11:58:00.811-05:00I want to order one.

It hadn't even occurred to me to omit that seam. <br /><br />I have been looking for something to wear over skinny jeans and I think this would probably be perfect. Thanks for the review and the tips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
