I recently acquired a serger and am slowly getting acquainted with it. I can’t figure out how to sew at the correct seam allowance, say, 3/8″ or 1/2″. What do I align with what, so that the seam is in the correct place while the knife cuts the excess?
Thanks.

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

I was wondering about lining it, too. I’ve made one without a lining and it works fine. I plan on making another. But having a lining would prevent the fabric from getting baggy in the seat.
Is there a blog post somewhere on how to line a skirt?

Ah ha! Got it. I thought the two smaller pieces were from another pattern piece but now I see they’re the result of cutting the one bigger piece along the cut line. Many thanks.

Correction: The placket piece I have is piece number 13.
