Examples

“If using a serger instead of a sewing machine, remember⟳ to eliminate or otherwise take⟳ into account the seam allowances given to each pattern, or you may end⟳ up with a larger pillow than expected.[…]Sergers, which create⟳ a series of overlapping stitches on the actual edge of the fabric, cutting away the excess, do not require⟳ seam allowances.”

“If you have⟳ a serger, you can use⟳ it to finish⟳ fabric edges so they don't ravel, but the zigzag stitch on your regular machine works well, too.”
