Re: How to finish a serged seam - in downloads
ok. i have tried this...but my beginning and ending looks a bit sloppy. the loops are hanging over the edge. i am petrified to cut the existing stitches when i go back over with the second round. i have contemplated turning off the blades so that it can't cut, and i can get my pretty edge. it's a simple flip of the lever, really?!? thoughts on this appreciated.
i am sure that, with practice, i will get better at this. as long as the stitches don't come out, i needn't worry about how pretty it looks, right?

Step 11: If you can, lower your cutting blade. If not, carefully do the next step.
Yes! I highly suggest lowering your cutting blade when you do the turn. I don't worry about the beginning because I will go over those stitches. I make sure that I sew close to the edge at the start, and I lower my blade for the finish. That sample was done after quite a bit of practice as well. Yes, practice will ALWAYS help. :)
