So you don't own a pair of pinking shears and you still want finished seams. Zigzagging is a great option. Almost all machines come with a zigzag stitch with adjustable stitch width and stitch length. I use the default setting for my zigzag stitch (1.5 mm stitch length/3.5 mm stitch width). These setting will vary with machine manufacturers and the type of fabric you are using. Sew a few samples until you find the perfect zigzag finishing stitch then write it down.
There are two ways to finish seams using a zigzag stitch. The first would be to sew a seam using the correct seam allowance. Then go back and zigzag next to the seam allowance and trim away any excess fabric. This works really well for curves like princess seams and armholes.
This finish is fairly close to a serger seam and will eliminate most unraveling. Before I owned a serger, I used this method and had years of success with it. #itsawinner
The second way to finish a seam using a zigzag stitch is to zigzag the edges prior to sewing seams together. This works well on straight seams or applications that might prevent trimming.
Either way, zigzagging a seam finish is one of the most common ways to finish a seam without a serger.
Please Accept my answer by providing you with the best possible solution. Would be more glade.
THANK YOU
