Total "Yay Me" experience today. I've had a serger for years and it's been cussing fodder and straight-lines-only. Last year, I picked up a vintage Bernina Bernette 5-thread serger that had hardly been used because it intimidated its prior two owners (love Craigslist). Today I finally managed round (outer) corners without totally screwing up.
Threads had a short "buy this copy" bit on how to conquer your serger. The thing that I had never thought of worked - stop and lift the presser foot while going around the corner. This made a tight turn easier and less like trying to turn an old pickup after the power steering failed (ocean liners turn easier).
Now Cakes' two yards of Rampunzel fleece is a real blanket!
