Serger

Yes! We have an in-depth video tutorial created by our MakerSpace staff.

The PDF for the BabyLock BLS3 Serger Manual can be found here.

Once you have reserved your time on the serger, be sure to bring the fabric and materials for your project with you. 

We have a selection of black, white, and grey serger thread. If you are looking to match your fabric, you will need to bring in your own 100% long-staple polyester thread, crosswound on a cone to ensure the best stitch performance.

The MakerSpace has a sewing toolbox that contains thread, straight pins, measuring tape, tailor’s chalk and fabric scissors. We also have cutting matts, rulers, and rotary cutters available. 

A serger is a sewing machine that cuts, stitches, and overcasts the edges of fabric all at once. It is also known as an overlocker. 

There are many benefits to using a serger, including:

• Sergers can save time and effort when sewing.
• Sergers can create professional-looking seams and hems.
• Sergers can help to prevent fraying and stretching of fabric.

• Always unplug the serger before threading it or making any adjustments.
• Be careful of the moving parts, especially the knives.
• Keep your fingers away from the needle and the knives.
• Do not sew over pins.
• Use the correct type of thread for the fabric you are sewing.
• Use the correct stitch for the project you are sewing.
• Do not overload the serger.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.

Our MakerSpace tables are approximately 36" x 72".
