Specialized serger feet
A presser foot is an accessory no machine owner can do without. But custom or detailed work means using specially-designed tools. We’re talking about work that may require using a belt loop binder, hemming foot, shirring foot, piping foot, beading and sequin foot or even a combination of all the above. Most well-known serger manufacturers offer several different specialty feet in combination packs. For example, Juki sells a 6-pack of assorted serger feet, including one of each for shirring, lace, elastic, tape, cording and beading/sequin applications. Buying these tools in combination packs offer great variety and savings.

Becoming proficient at using a serger takes a little time and practice, but it’s well worth both. Grab some fabric, try out some features and get to know your machine and its accessories. Before you know it, you’ll be ready to take on some highly creative projects!
