I should have a licence to operate these things!

I'm happy to report that my serger is back in business. Early weekend experimentation revealed that unlike a regular sewing machine, the stitch width can't always be adjusted - at least, that causes my Pfaff to malfunction. The serger miraculously started working again when I changed the stitch width back to the setting recommended in the user guide. I should feel really dumb, but really I'm just happy that it isn't broken!

I also discovered that I had inadvertantly had the flat hem program selected, not the rolled hem stitch. There is so much to keep track of! This weekend's progress was encouraging enough that I did try the rolled hem on a flannel blanket, with my spool of multi-coloured wooly nylon thread that matches my fabric really well:

Changing the thread was a tense moment!

Ahh the perils of sewing. Glad it all worked out well!
