Description: If you own an older serger or a base model that is missing dial labels, use a sharpie to help identify what each dial controls. This quick tip will save you from having to check your user's manual each time you need a reminder. Beginners and advanced sewers alike can find a serger confusing. The multiple thread spools, needles, and loopers are sometimes difficult to keep track of, even if they are color coded. Stephani L. Miller, Threads’ former special projects editor, cuts to the chase: She suggests labeling each control on her serger with a permanent marker. The labels make it easy to see at a glance which threading path to follow and which dial or switch to use when adjusting the stitch. Save time with this quick solution.
