I thought we had a tutorial for this, but I couldn't find it in downloads or tutorials. This is how I have been finishing all of my projects for a while, and it is so easy once you get the hang of it.

Great tutorial. Very easy to understand!!! I think Hilary did the tute I think you're thinking of, but it was in a thread in MG in answer to someone's question. I've been finishing my seams this way too. Works great!

I've always wondered how to do this! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks. I'll have to try this method. I always used to weave the tail back through the stitching
I can not get this to open. Can anyone help me. Thanks.

I used this about 4 or 6 times last night - thank you!

Thanks! This looks so much easier than threading the ends back through. I need to try this out before I forget.

Thanks. It finally opened for me. I have to make some dresses in the next day or two so I'll try this method. In the past (today included) I've had 2-3" tails & then using a tapestry needle threaded those tails into the seam itself. .....Which can take forever! This may be much quicker.

This is a good tute, but I always do an overlock with threads, and have never 'finished' the ends, and never had a problem. So isn't this sort of extra work? I'm just curious, because I've heard some people swear that no finishing is necessary due to the chain, and others say you have to sew the ends in or whatever. I just know that *knock on wood* I haven't had anything fall apart yet... LOL!
I only serge many garments, and I don't trust the garment to not fall apart if the tail is just cut off. If you are also sewing on the sewing machine, then you may be able to leave off this step. I like the inside of my garments to look as neat as possible and leaving a chained-off serger tail inside the garment isn't pretty at all.
This is also how I finish ALL rolled edge t-shirts, nightgowns, dresses, and skirts for my daughter. I tend to do rolled edges in the flat rather than round, and this is a good way to secure those seams.

I'll have to give it a whirl. I always cut the chain ends off at the fabric edge, but maybe that's bad...? I'm not trying to be argumentative at all, so I hope I don't come off that way...? I really am just a lazy sewer, and not sure what's best. I guess it IS better to be safe than sorry, especially if you are gifting or selling an item you make. Your tute really sounds easy though. I never would have thought to do that. So thanks for sharing it!
i read this post earlier in december and didn't understand it as i had not gotten my serger yet.
now that i have been using it for a few day, this all makes sense. i can't wait to try it on something.
thanks for posting. very clear instructions.
