Step 4Serge the outside seam
you will now serge (or step zig-zag, on a regular sewing machine) the outside seam.
this here is my serger, which I got on eBay years ago. sergers are almost as fussy as newborns. once you have them dialed in and working, they're great, but they will turn on you in a heartbeat. the main feature here is the cutting blade, which isn't terribly visible in these pictures. it does not like pins, but it likes fingers! take care.
It is easiest to make 3 passes: one on each of the outside sides, then the 'V' in the middle. you need not cut the serged thread ends.
try the hat on the child, still inside out. if it is too big, you can serge the sides down smaller (yay, cutting blade.) if it is too small, throw it away and go back to step 2. sorry.
