Last week I had grand plans of mastering the flatlock feature on the serger so that I could make a snazzy little running top with the wacky fabric I got in Portland at Rose City Textiles. I watched the video and studied the manual, but the flatlock still wouldn’t work. I felt like a wretched failure and lost sleep over this! I managed to get an appointment with the Bernina lady, though, and she helped me. It turns out I was pretty much doing everything correctly. This was good because it made me feel like less of a loser but bad because I was secretly hoping for one of those lightbulb-going-off-in-my-head moments. Well, blah blah, whatever. Here’s the top:
Yeah, I don’t know what is up with the pose. Sorry.
And here’s a closeup of the flatlock, which came out okay:
Hope everyone’s week started out well!

Man, that top is so cool! And looks like it fits perfectly. You’re amazing.
Wow, cool!
I think that’s the frozen super snazzy running lady pose.
I think that pose it fit for the runner’s catalog!
I have a Bernina serger too, it is a fussy but extremely useful machine. Whenever I need to use it I tell myself that I am the master and it is made to be used. Good going!
dude. i’m totally in love with that shirt. soooooooooo awesome. you’ll soon be putting nike out of business. when are you scheduling a trip to chicago so you can help me with all my hemming, seaming, fixing, etc., that i have in a big pile waiting for you?
Oh, it is fantastic!!! Very cool 🙂
Very, very groovy.
Uh, ‘Pineapple’?
Great top! I really need to get over my serger fear. I have a brand new one I haven’t even used for the 9 months I’ve owned it …ugh
nice! great fabric!
wow that is snazzy. What is a flatlock? And how do you get everything tocome out fitting so well??
Wowee! Absolutely fabulous.
That shirt is so cool! Great job. I too have problems with the Bernina serger. Don’t get me wrong, they are the best but man they can be touchy.
Wow, even more reason for me to covet a serger!
That is great. You will make the other runners in their overpriced brand name gear jealous.
Super sporty! And you came up with that pattern yourself right? You are good!
That top is amazing!! THe pose, though…v. JC Penny 😉 Nice work!!
Look at the running sex kitten! I’d wear it out and screw the running…little black skirt and boots. You’d be sooo hot!
