My very first serger, a Brother 1034D, arrived yesterday! After reading all of the instructions and getting over my initial intimidation (Have you see the crazy threading for these things?!), tonight I was finally ready to give her a try.

When I finished with my test stitching, I was pretty sure that I’d made a cat shawl.

Turns out, I actually made a peppermint schnapps cozy. Go figure.
