Should I use a serger when making fleece hats?


So I decided that I need to start making fleece hats. I have my patterns all draw and I think they look pretty good. It then got me thinking; should I serge the edges to give it a better look? Also, I know a serger doesn’t have much problem going along a right angle that sticks out, but can it handle an angle that goes inward (like the right side of an “L”, but not that extreme). This also led me to wonder, if I do serge them, should I serge each piece, then sew, or just serge it all together.

Also, for more detail. I have a White model 534.

It’s not necessary to serge the edges to prevent raveling. If you decide to serge the edges, it will be a design feature. Why don’t you make some *with* the serging and compare them to the ones without?

You will need to consider the additional time, effort, and materials that go into making the hats with the serged edges and determine if it adds to the value of the hat. In other words, if you sold the hats, could you get enough more money for the serged hats to make it worthwhile to add the extra time and materials? If the answer is yes, then serge them. If it’s no, then don’t.

If you have the skill to serge the pieces together and have it come out looking good, then do it that way–it will save a lot of time, effort, and material.

As for the L angle: Clip into the angle at an angle to create two straight edges for stitching.
