I've been on an unintentional sewing break when I just couldn't seem to get my serger working after one of the spools became tangled and broke.
It took several attempts and days at re-threading to get it back to serging form. You don't realize how much you rely on a piece of equipment until it's out of commission for awhile. Of course, I could have managed and finished Vogue 9367 without serging the remainder of the seam edges. The coat is almost finished and I was working on the hems which could have easily been finished with seam binding.
This dry spell in the sewing room made me wish that there was a place where you could rent a serger. Lending libraries are popping up across the country and you can stop by and use a sewing machine. But no serger.
I'm just glad it's working. I missed sewing on this little machine. Now to go back to work on the coat. Before I head back to work on this project I'm curious. Has anyone used a lending library for any sewing equipment? What did you think of the experience?
Happy Sewing!
We have a few places that allow you to rent time on machines. I'm not sure about sergers though. I do remember wanting to do so with a coverstitch and had no luck.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a great idea though! Hopefully more places will pop up!
Yes, I agree. Hmmm, possible business idea?

It's too bad your public library doesn't have one. Ours has 3 regular machines but no serger.... yet. I have my fingers crossed for one someday.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea. Sewing machines in libraries? Not in US. At least I haven't see any. Humm!Canada? Another reason to love Canadians.
