This is a question we have seen a few times in sew a long groups. How do you finish a serger tail? There are many ways to do this.

I personally will only do this if I have fabric glue to seal the ends down. Otherwise you run the risk...

I am sure you've seen pictures of adorable pillow beds with kids laying on them reading or just lounging about on Pinterest and other social media sites. I came across one and decided I needed to try and make one (well really two) for my kids.
