to serge or not to serge

Well, it's been a week, and I haven't done much in terms of progress. I did finally finish the quilting on my very first quilt. My problem with the project is that I don't really like it, so there is no motivation to finish it. The more it sits, the less I want to. But now I just have to do the binding. A useful exercise since I've never done it.

I did empty out my piggy bank and get a serger. Of course it sat in the box for a couple of days, then I took it out and stared at it for a couple more days. So now it's been almost a week and I took all the pre-loaded threads out and threaded it. Not exactly easy, but definitely doable.

I have some jersey here waiting and I got a great sweatshirt pattern at Heidi & Finn. I'm really excited for the sweatshirt but I can't decide if it is too difficult a project for my very first spin at this machine.
