Explanation:
Question: what is a serger

I have a silly question but I am new to the world of sewing. What is a serger? What is the difference between a serger and a regular sewing machine and does a serger do the same things as a sewing machine except more?

Thank you for your time!

Answer:

A Serger uses anywhere from 2 to 5 threads at a time to sew. It makes the stitch found on the inside of ready to wear clothes where the thread wraps around the edges of the fabric. It also cuts away the excess seam allowance as it sews. A serger can be used for many aspects of sewing. I use it for decorative stitching that shows on the outside of clothing, as well. It does not replace a sewing machine, but is a great companion to one. Saves a lot of time.
