#12- "I use a computer mouse pad underneath my serger. It cuts down the vibrations and noise, and it protects my table from the serger's feet marks."
by Katherin
#29- "When lofty batting gets boggled up in the toes of your presser foot, remove the presser foot. Carefully wrap a piece of transparent tape around the toe area of your presser foot, but don't cover the area where your needle goes in and out. This creates an upward curving sort of ski that will glide nicely over the batting."
