A serger does not typically come to mind when you think about finer seam finishes. But Sarai from Colette Patterns shows how you can use a serger to help make a French seam. The overlocking keeps the raw edges from fraying and also makes it easier to turn and press the seam. Get the how-to on the Colette Patterns blog, The Coletterie.
