I was in total shock and horrified that I had let this mistake happen! My serger ate the fabric and gouged a large 'V'-shaped hole in the body of the garment! What to do to fix it? After I took many deep breaths, calmed down and analyzed the disaster, I came up with a viable solution. Make sure to watch this video...this might have happened to you.
