Hi,
I'm making a cape/cloak for my youngest niece from a slightly stretchy light-weight velour. Normally I would use my serger (Babylock Evolve) to sew this, but there is a gap in the seam joining the front panels for a hand hole (gap to put your hand through). Can I use the serger and leave a gap in the seam, or will I have to use my sewing machine (HV designer 1)?
Thanks for your help,

You'll get a better and neater finish on that slit if you serge the edges of those panels and those particular seams on a standard machine: use a small narrow zigzag and top-stitch the slits to keep the edges neat. :)
Ooooh, nice color combination!

Try quilt basting spray! And then hand baste as well...
I had decided to hand baste and the thought of spray basting had drifted through my mind................thanks for confirming it! Now to find my can of spray baste!
Thanks,
