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.

Pros

  • Six different serger feet for all of your needs
  • Comes with a special tool for easy mounting
  • Good variety and a great price

Cons

  • Overall quality could be better

Scissors

Sewing is really difficult without at least one pair of scissors, and most sewists prefer owning multiple sizes for different uses. With so many choices it’s overwhelming to pick exactly what you need or what brands are high-quality. What you include in your scissor collection is ultimately up to you, but for starters you can’t go wrong purchasing the Fiskars 5-Inch Softgrip Scissors and Gingher’s 8-Inch Knife Edge Dressmaker’s Shears. The small pair of Fiskars have softgrip handles for reducing hand fatigue and the micro-tipped precision blades are fantastic for clipping threads or cutting out intricate patterns. The ultra-sharp knife-edged blades on the dressmaker’s shears easily cut through multiple layers of fabric, while their bent handle holds fabric flat for smooth, accurate table-top cuts.

Tote Bags and Trolleys

One of the advantages of a personal use serger is its portability – their compact size allows you to pick it up and take it with you to classes, weekend sewing retreats, and even on vacation. To make it easier to transport your machine, spend the money on a quality carrying case. Not only does it organize accessories in one convenient place, but it helps protect your machine from dust, dirt, and damage.

The Luxja Serger Case is a hand-held tote bag (with a shoulder strap) and comes in a handful of different fabric options at an affordable price. For a bit more money, you can purchase a rolling trolley that pulls behind you, to save your back. The Tutto Serger Tote on Wheels and the Luxja Overlock Sewing Machine Case with Detachable Trolley Dolly make it simple to take your machine wherever you want to go.

Thread Organization

Keeping your thread cones neatly organized prevents them from coming unraveled and getting tangled and helps your sewing space look neat and tidy. There aren’t as many accessories available for keeping serger cones organized compared to standard thread spools or embroidery spools, because of their larger size and shape. However, the Original Thread Net Spool Saver slides over the cones to keep them from unraveling. Depending on the space you have available, store your thread on the ArtBin 6901AB Cone Thread Tray or the wall-hanging HAITARL 32-Spool Sewing Thread Rack.

Serger Pads & Muffling Mats

While incredibly useful in your sewing room, sergers are known for being loud and “dancing” their way across the table when in use. Special absorbent mats/pads help reduce the noise and vibration, keeping your machine from sliding around.

The Cottage Mills Stay-in-Place Serger Machine Pad Mat and the Janome Muffling Mat sit under your machine, on top of the table to protect the surface. A thick foam-rubber backing keeps the pad from moving across the table while absorbing sound; the textured top helps hold your serger in place, preventing it from moving.


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!


About Amanda S.: Growing up, I was fascinated by watching my mom and grandma turn fabric into beautiful handcrafted items. In my early 20’s, I finally got brave, buying a sewing machine and teaching myself to sew. As I fell in love with sewing, my machine collection expanded, and I ran an Etsy shop sewing children’s clothing for a few years. As a single mom of 3 great kids, my sewing time has lessened, but I still try to find time to work on quilts, bags, and projects with my kids, teaching them what I love.
