Ruffled Scarf: 1. Place both 6" strips wrong sides together and pin along each long edge. Baste 1/8" along each raw edge, stretching the knit fabric as you feed it into your machine. 2. Set up your Baby Lock serger to do a rolled hem. Using contrasting color threads and a textured thread (like Wholly Nylon) in your upper looper, create a lettuce-edge rolled hem along both long edges of the scarf. To give it the “lettuce” effect, slightly stretch your knit fabric by hand as you are feeding it into the serger. 3. Fold each 18" x 3" piece in half widthwise, right sides together, and pin along each short edge. Stitch with a 1/2" seam allowance. Press seam and turn right side out. Baste gathering stitches around one raw edge of each piece and create a lettuce-edge rolled hem around the other raw edge. 4. Gather the ruffle piece to equal the circumference of the raw edge of your scarf. Place the ruffle piece around the raw edge, right sides together and pin. Stitch with a 1/2" seam allowance and finish with a serger or zig zag stitch. Press seam up into the scarf.
Non-Ruffled Scarf: 1. Place both 6" strips right sides together and pin along the two short edges. Stitch with a 1/2" seam allowance leaving the long edges open. Turn scarf right side out and press each short edge well. Align the raw edges of each long edge and pin. Baste 1/8" along each raw edge, stretching the knit fabric as you feed it into your machine. 2. Set up your Baby Lock serger to do a rolled hem. Using contrasting color threads and a textured thread (like Wholly Nylon) in your upper looper, create a lettuce-edge rolled hem along both long edges of the scarf. To give it the “lettuce” effect, slightly stretch your knit fabric by hand as you are feeding it into the serger. Clip the serger tails at the ends and dab a little Fray Check on the corners of your scarf, to prevent unraveling.
Infinity Scarf: 1. Fold each 6" strip in half widthwise, right sides together, and pin along the short edges. Stitch with a 1/2" seam allowance and a regular machine stitch, being sure not to stretch the knit as you feed it through your machine. You should now have 2 circular bands. 2. Place one circular band inside the other, wrong sides together and pin around the 2 raw edges. Baste 1/8" around each raw edge, stretching the knit fabric as you feed it into your machine. 3. Set up your Baby Lock serger to do a rolled hem. Using contrasting color threads and a textured thread (like Wholly Nylon) in your upper looper, create a lettuceedge rolled hem along both circular edges of the scarf, overlapping the beginning stitches about 1" when you finish. To give it the “lettuce” effect, slightly stretch your knit fabric by hand as you are feeding it into the serger. Clip the serger tails at the ends and dab a little Fray Check on the overlap, to prevent unraveling.
