I bought my 158-12512 in 1980 at Sears in southern Ontario, Canada. I then operated a dressmaking business for almost 10 years, using this machine, one serger and one industrial sewing machine daily. I have now gone through two sergers, sold the industrial, but still have the Kenmore - which is actually waiting on the worktable behind me to finish a large project for the Nursery at my local hospital. I luv this machine, and don't want to ever loose it!! I just realized that I've worked this lil machine for 33 years, and it still purrs. Hope this helps.
Flip it inside out and over stitch the hole, flip it back and iron it. If you have a serger or a friend with a serger, using the seamline, start about an inch above the hole and serge down to about an inch below the hole. Try to run the extra threads at both ends back inside the new seam, using a blunt embriodery needle; or tie a knot close to the start/finish of the new seam.
Any type of garment can be sewn together using a Brother Serger machine, but linens, expensive formal fabrics and fabric with stretch really benefit from a Serger. Sewing with a Brother Serger allows you to make cleaner-looking seams and hems.
A Baby Lock Serger is a sewing machine sometimes known as an "overlocker". These machines actually trim the edge of the fabric as they stitch giving a professional finish.
It was during the 1980's I am certain. I got my Master's degree in fashion design. The only sergers that were available at that time for the home-sew market was a homely little serger made by Babylock. People that had them liked them. None of my fellow grads students had one, but we were all interested. The first serger that I bought was a White 534 in 1987. (I still have the receipt and I still have the serger. It works great!) I remember that it had been out a little while before that. I can't remember how long. It was listed as the best serger on the market in consumer reports for something like 15-20 years. The 534 was the first easy to thread serger for the home market and was definitely that top serger of its time. Mine will not stop. It is amazing!

Hi! I sew stretch panne velvet all the time using my serger. It is the easiest way by far. If you don't have a serger, I would recommend using the tightest zig zag stitch on your standard sewing machine.
Serged stitching is the kind of stitching you find on the inside seams of ready-to-wear garments. This stitching is done on a machine called a "serger". A serger is threaded with 2, 3, or 4 threads at once. It sews, binds, and trims all at the same time.
