"Pattern Book" - Susan Voigt-Reising
(reprinted with permission)
Woven garments, especially those with many seams, are prime candidates for serger
finishing techniques. An ideal example is "Two For the Road", Saf-T-Pockets 9800
(XS to 3XL). This travel-savvy, three-panel shirt and pull-on pant combo has four
outside pockets and up to eight discreetly hidden security pockets.
To stop fraying and keep edges clean during and after construction, finish the garment
pieces with a balanced 3-thread overlock stitch. For exposed seams, such as on shirt
sides and pant legs, use a 3- or 4-thread overlock. Or stitch conventionally, the opt
for a mock flat-felled finish: Trim one seam allowance to 1/4", serge and barely trim
the other seam allowance, then topstitch the seam flat from the right side.
