I learned you can either get a ballpoint needle, or a double needle that sews two straight stitched on top and a zig zag on the bottom. I think the ballpoint needle is more widely available. As for hemming/finishing edges, some are ok with folding the edge over once with a zigzag (since knits don't fray) while some like to fold over twice. <br /><br />I remember my mom made my ice skating costumes for me using swimsuit material with her Elna from the mid 70s, long before she got a serger herself. So it can be done!!!<br /><br />Hope this helps. Let me know if you'd like more specifics, or if you try it yourself I'd love to hear about it!<br /><br />Have a great weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!<br />StephAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725445216920418304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626569815433400519.post-49632823491725277362011-03-11T12:25:09.640-08:002011-03-11T12:25:09.640-08:00I love these!
