Magic the Seams
This is the moment you've been waiting for.

Now that the seam is nicely serged (picture 1), open up the garment so the serged edge is in the middle (picture 2).

Pull the opposite sides away from each other (picture 3) until the stitching lays flat and the edges are more or less butted up against each other.

Yatta!  You did it!

your stitches look very neat, I have never used this flat stitch that you are showing. question....do you have any secrets for setting the tension disc for a serger? mine stitches about 6 inches then skips 3 stitches resumes serging, then skips approx 1/2 inch. regardless to say, this is most frustrating and leaves a very jagged edge on the project.
t he repair shop charges $75 to analize before telling me what might be wrong.
I have changed needles, rethreaded the machine plus have new upper & lower knives.
